CESIUM AND STRONTIUM IMMOBILIZATION BY CEMENTITIOUS MATRICES CONTAINING BORIC ACID ENRICHED IN B-10 ISOTOPE

Abstract

In this study natural and B-10 enriched, simulated boric acid radiative wastes were solidified by Ordinary Portland Cement. The retention of Cs-137 and Sr-90 radioisotopes are important factors in this system. The investigation of the leachability of cement paste specimens containing boric acid and CsCl were carried out. Based on the findings, both B-enrichment of boric acid and the amount of Cs added influence the leachability of the waste form.
