| Abstract: | An investigation is in progress to develop concretes to immobilize radioactive wastes; for example, ¹²⁹I may be isolated from the environment as barium iodate in concrete. Leach studies of various isotopes (I, Cs, Sr, Cm, and Pu) fixed in concrete show that the leach rates are essentially diffusion controlled. Comparison of long-term extrapolated values has indicated that cementitious grouts can have leach rates similar to those obtained from borosilicate glasses. (2 figs., 5 tables) |
