As a floating nuclear plant on the sea, the nuclear submarine accidents on the sea is much more possible with the service life increasing year after year because of marine mission and harsh environment. In case of nuclear accident, it has a serious result and is difficult comparatively to medical rescue and guarantee. This paper introduces the sorts and basic principles of medical rescue for nuclear accident, especially analyses the characteristic of medical emergency rescue within the submarine, scene disposition points and radiation protection measures of emergency work personnel when an accident occurred on the sea. All that have been discussed has guide meaning and practical significance to medical emergency rescue for nuclear accident on the sea in our country in future.

Our effort for decontamination of radioactive cesium scattered widely by nuclear accident in March 2011 in Fukushima, Japan has been described. Radioactive cesium scattered widely in Japan has been accumulating in arc or plasma molten-solidified ash in waste incinerating facilities up to 90,000 Bq/kg of the radioactive waste. Water rinsing of the ash resulted in dissolution of cesium ions together with high concentrations of potassium and sodium ions. Although potassium inhibits the adsorption of cesium on zeolite, we succeeded to precipitate cesium by in-situ formation of ferric ferrocyanide and iron rust in the radioactive filtrate after rinsing of the radioactive ash with water. Because the regulation of no preservation of any kind of cyanide substances, cesium was separated from the precipitate consisting of cesium-captured ferric ferrocyanide and ferric hydroxide in diluted NaOH solution and subsequent filtration gave rise to the potassium-free radioactive filtrate. Cesium was captured by zeolite from the potassium-free radioactive filtrate. The amount of this final radioactive waste of zeolite was significantly lower than that of the arc-molten-solidified ash.
