What is it about?

This book addresses the sustainability of the nuclear cement-based technologies by highlighting the legislative, administrative, and technical aspects that can affect their sustainability. It covers development and updates of regulatory requirements on a global scale, evaluation of conventional and innovative cementitious systems performance, aging and durability, the development of cementitious systems for the immobilization of problematic wastes and in geological disposal, and the conventional and innovative technologies used in the decontamination, dismantling, and demolitions of complex cementitious systems

Perspectives

The book consists of four parts. The first one introduces to the cementitious systems in nuclear industry; the second part presents the behavior of the cementitious systems and the factors that affect their sustainability; the third part presents the operation and maintenance of the cementitious systems and their contribution to the sustainability; and finally, the last part addresses the end of life cycle of these systems. This book focuses on conventional Portland cement-based systems as most of the existing facilities rely on them, yet innovative materials, i.e., calcium aluminates, calcium sulfoaluminates, and magnesium phosphate cements, are well addressed when possible.
