AbstractAbstract
[en] A study has been performed, correlating the leachability of Cs-137 from small-scale to large-scale waste/cement composites. In the study, simulants of two contrasting waste types were considered: cation-exchange resin and boric acid wastes incorporated in Portland Type cements. Test specimens were right cylinders of dimensions varying from 5 x 5 to 55 x 55 (diameter x height, cm). Using leach data representing diffusion-controlled release, effective diffusivities of approx. 2 x 10-8 cm2/s have been calculated for Cs-137 in both waste/cement matrices. A comparison of the observed and predicted cesium release values indicated that leach data derived from testing of small-scale specimens can be extrapolated, using a planar semi-infinite medium approximation, to estimate leachability of a full-scale specimen
