Comparative analysis of nuclear waste solidification performance models: Spent ion exchanger-cement based wasteforms

What is it about?

Solidification performance for cement based radioactive wasteforms was investigated and linked to the hydraulic performance using mechanistic and empirical models. Within this context, the short-term developments of the compressive strength, porosity, and permeability of cement based matrices of varying water content were assessed. The nature of the immobilization of inorganic ion exchangers and polymer modification in cement based matrices and its effect on the relative change in the compressive strength and permeability were investigated
