Description

A research project involving a number of institutions in Federal Republic of Germany was undertaken to investigate a concept for the containerless emplacement and solidification of low level waste-medium level waste (LLW-MLW) in underground caverns. One task was concerned with the interaction between the waste product and salt. For this purpose preconditioned pellets and a filler suspension made of cement, water and additives were filled into a solution mined cavern and relevant experimental parameters during reaction and curing processes were measured. For instance the determination of temperature changes accompanying various fill rates served to test a mathematical model and the investigation of samples from the cavern provided information concerning product properties and changes with time
