Immobilization of Tritiated Waste-Water by Hydraulic Cements. A Survey of the State of the Art

AN EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH PROGRAMME INCLUDING AS ONE OF ITS MAJOR ITEMS THE DEFINITION OF A STRATEGY FOR TRITIATED WASTE MANAGEMENT IS BEING PREPARED AT THE JRC-ISPRA. LABORATORY WORK WILL BE PERFORMED IN ETHEL, THE EUROPEAN TRITIUM HANDLING EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT ISPRA. TO PROVIDE BACK- GROUND INFORMATION NEEDED FOR DEFINING ITEMS AND PLANNING THE EXECUTION OF SUCH ACTIVITIES, A SURVEY OF THE STATE OF THE ART AND R & D PERFORMED IN THE FIELD OF TRITIATED WATER IMMOBILIZATION BY CEMENTS AND ULTIMATE PACKAGING BY MULTIPLE CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS HAS BEEN CARRIED OUT. PARTICULAR ATTENTION HAS BEEN FOCUSEDON RESULTS OF TRITIUM LEACH TEST PROGRAMMES PERFORMED AT VARIOUS USA LABORATO- SRIES IN ORDER TO VERIFY THE LEACH RESISTENCE PROPERTIES OF SOME TRITIUM IMMOBI-LIZATION AND CONTAINMENT OPTIONS. PROBLEMS AND DRAW BACKS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH OPTIONS ARE DISCUSSED. FINAL CONCLUSIONS ARE PRESENTED
