Abstract
it is shown that the following radioactive materials can be incorporated into cement brick so as to form an integral part of the composition: precipitates consisting of ferric hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, manganese hydroxide, a sulfate-silica mass, ash obtained by combustion of rags, paper, and wood. Systems (and the requisite qonditions) for cementation on the basis of these waste products have been developed. The cement consumption is 20–50% depending on the composition of the waste products. Some isotopes are incorporated more firmIy in cement brick than others (Nb and Ru are better incorporated than Cs and St).
