Understanding the mobility of caesium, nickel and selenium released from waste disposal : chemica...

Cementitious materials are used to condition or stabilise waste and to build infrastructure in disposal sites. Moreover, they are envisaged to form part of engineered barrier systems as container, backfill or liner materials in radioactive waste disposal concepts. In the event of contact with water, contaminants dissolve and their mobility is influenced by the employed cementitious materials. Therefore, sound understanding of the interactions between contaminants and degrading cementitious ma...
