Abstract

Amorphous zirconium phosphates (ZrP) loaded with137Cs and90Sr/90Y isotopes are contained in cements and their leaching behaviour with simulated pond, ground, sea and deionized waters, evaluated. Acceptable compositions of the waste mixes in terms of the proportions of various components and their solid to liquid ratios, are also described.
