Description

This paper discusses testing protocols and results for cement-based low-level waste forms designed to immobilize various Department of Energy radioactive wastes that are also considered chemically hazardous under either the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act or the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act. The various tests are outlined, and the data obtained from measurements of compressive strength, drainable water, leachability, and freeze/thaw resistance are summarized. These protocols can be used to expedite group formulation development studies
