Immobilization of radioactive waste through cementation using Cuban zeolitic rock as additive

  • 1. Nuclear Technology Center, Nuclear Agency, La Habana (Cuba)

Description

The cementation of both simulated and real low level aqueous wastes using Cuban zeolite as additive is described. Mechanical characteristics and leach testing of the cemented waste forms has been studied. The results obtained have shown that the presence of zeolite in the cemented waste for reduces considerably the leach rates of Cs and Co and moreover, mechanical characteristics (set time and compressive strength) are better when compared with direct cementation of aqueous wastes.
