The preferred option which fully satisfies these requirements is immobilizing the most radioactive lower part of the reactor tank and inner cavities of horizontal experimental channels with concrete thereby encapsulating the radioactive waste. It should be mentioned that the option to encapsulate the lower section of the reactor requires a relatively small amount of concrete(20 m³) to be added to the existing huge reactor block which has a volume more than 300 m³. 1, record 2, English, - reactor%20block

In the "combined washer", a horizontal worm is supported in a tank with its axis about at water level. The wheat is fed into the rising side of the worm so that the worm keeps the wheat suspended(while stones or metal pieces sink and are separated) and leads it to the base of a vertical whizzer. In this the wheat is first strongly agitated with water, then freed from surplus water by being flung against a cylindrical perforated cover while being propelled upward. 1, record 7, English, - combined%20washer

Most steel manufacturers supply prefabricated module tank panels for quick on-site erection by relatively unskilled labour. A new concept in steel storages is called the Lipp tank which utilizes a continuous coil of aluminized or galvanized steel rolled upwards into a spiral to form the tank wall. The horizontal connection between the sheets is a double-locked folded seam. Lipp tanks are available in sizes from just under 4 metres to over 21 metres in diameter. 1, record 8, English, - Lipp%20tank

The intercepting sedimentation tank is based on contact flocculation and intercepting precipitation with special structure. The treatment efficiency of low-temperature and low-turbidity water by intercepting sedimentation tank was studied and compared with that of horizontal-flow settling tank and the inclined plate settler. The results showed that the treatment efficiency of intercepting sedimentation tank with excellent capacity of intercepting flocculation and adaptability to water quality variation was obviously higher than that of horizontal-flow settling tank and approximated to that of inclined plate settler. This kind of sedimentation tank is of great potential for development and application. 1, record 9, English, - horizontal%2Dflow%20settling%20tank
