Description

In order to test eventual backfill materials on an underground storage, alteration tests of R717 nuclear waste glass have been conducted in water at 90 deg C with natural and phosphorus zeolites. Zeolitic media lead to stabilisation of concentrations quicker than in pure water, though at a superior level. Moreover, the entry of solution of caesium is lower in media with zeolite than in reference medium. (authors)
