Rs. Wang et al., STUDY OF THE IMMOBILIZATION OF RA-226 .1. CEMENT SOLIDIFICATION OF RA-226 WASTE, Journal of radioanalytical and nuclear chemistry, 198(2), 1995, pp. 281-285
A study of the immobilization for Ra-226 waste has been carried out. C
ement-based concrete was used as a matrix for the solidification of ra
dium waste. The experimental results show that the cement mixture with
water/cement between 0.46-0.54 has higher strength (above 20 MPa), an
d the compressive strength was not reduced by addition of 1% barite or
the radium waste (RaSO4) into the concrete solid.
