AB  - Tracer experiments were done in order to establish a decontamination process of 
      106Ru in radioactive waste solution by column method paying special attention on 
      the solution of nitratonitrosyl complex of Ru which is often encountered as a low 
      level radioactive waste solution. It turned out that metallic iron was the most 
      effective decontaminating agent among the several tens of materials tested. The 
      decontamination factor (DF) of 106Ru increased in proportion to the total surface 
      area of iron and it sensitively depended on the oxidation state of the surface as 
      revealed by the batchwise and columnwise tests. Iron samples with high 
      corrosiveness gave a much larger DF than those with low corrosiveness. The 
      decontamination process proceeded as iron was being oxidized via Fe(metal)leads 
      toFe(II)leads toFe(III). As the results, the DF initially increased after 
      initiating the passage of water through the column but it then decreased as the 
      oxidation process became inactive. An excellent durability up to 10000 bed 
      volumes was demonstrated by the column method at a high average DF of 150.
