To provide reliable K d data for Cs required for the performance assessment of cement-based radioactive waste repositories, two complementary approaches were followed. First, Cs sorption was determined on a range of hydrated cement paste (HCP) and mortar samples of CEM I and CEM V for different degradation states and solution …

Cesium-137 is a common radioactive byproduct found in nuclear spent fuel. Given its 30 year half life, its interactions with potential storage materials-such as cement paste-is of crucial importance. In this paper, simulations are used to establish the interaction of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H)-the mam binding phase of cement paste-with ...
In this report adsorption behaviors of cement pastes toward iodine (as anion) and cesium (as cation) were studied. Adsorption of iodine was remarkable for OPC and MHP pastes that are known to have high molar ratio CaO/SiO{sub 2}, partition coefficient being 100 ml/g for initial tracer concentration of 10{sup -5} mol/l.

ABSTRACT Recently, extremely high dose rates were detected in the three-layer concrete plugs of the units 2 and 3 at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The high dose rates suggest that there are some trapping effects of radioactive materials on shield plugs when gas species and aerosols (e.g. CsOH and CsI) are released from the …

The cement cured at 50 degrees C and 30.3 MPa exhibited a shallower depth of degradation and displayed a well-defined carbonated zone as compared to cement cured under ambient conditions, likely due to smaller, more evenly distributed Ca(OH)2(s) crystals that provide a uniform and effective barrier to CO2 attack.

In this study, microstructural differences and changes in the adsorption capacity of cesium between cement and carbonated cement were investigated. Cement blocks were ground to powder for rapid carbonation, and microscopic variations were characterized by XRF, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, BET, and TGA.The characterization results …
The adsorption of cesium from aqueous solutions on cement mortar was investigated in the range of initial cesium concentrations of 0.0103–10.88 mg L −1 and in the range of temperatures of 278–313 K. It took approximately 12 …

This suggests that for contaminated concrete waste and demolition debris, the cesium residing in the cement phases would be largely leachable in fresh or salty waters. Moreover, cesium found on the aggregate phases would be leachable, although to a much lesser extent. 3.6.2. Ammonium-based wash solutions

Cement-based materials are widely used for stabilizing and conditioning radioactive waste in low- and intermediate-level repositories. In this study, the adequacy of four different types of mortars, obtained from four different commercial cements, CEM I, II and IV (A and B), to act as barrier to 137 Cs migration was analysed. Diffusion …
Rock physics represents the link between geologic reservoir parameters (e.g., porosity, clay content, sorting, lithology, saturation) and seismic properties (e.g., V P /V S, density, elastic moduli).Rock physics models can either be used to interpret observed sonic and seismic velocities in terms of reservoir parameters, or they can be used to …
The relationship between the fraction leached and the ratio of surface area and volume (S/V) of a specimen has been studied in order to evaluate the safety of a cement composite for disposal. The leaching fraction of radionuclides was measured for the different S/V ratios. In a case of either 137Cs, 90Sr or 60Co, the amount leached is directly …
The leaching rate of cesium has been studied in cement. The solidification matrix was a standard Portland cement with increased sulphate resisting properties mixed with 300 kg/m 3 or 350 kg/m 3 powdered ion exchange resins, and with or without 5 weight-% zeolite added to the grout. The leaching rates from an ordinary cement matrix and a …
