Description

Binding materials with high gamma-absorbance, easy to prepare and use, are of great usefulness in the elimination and disposal of low-level radioactive wastes such as clinical wastes. Use of these materials ranges from construction of containers to sealing of vessels designed for wastes disposal. In this paper the authors describe preparation of special mortars containing barite and/or PbO characterized by good hydraulic properties and high insulating power
