Leaching Performance of Simulated Decontamination Wastes Solidified with Water Extendible Polyester Resin
Main Article Content
Abstract
134Cs and 60Co releases from peroxide bicarbonate and Turco 4521A wastes solidified with water extendible polyester resin have been investigated. Results show regardless of type of leachant used, both 134CS and 60Co cumulative releases from peroxide bicarbonate
waste forms were lower than the releases from Turco 4521A samples. In addition, for all wastes radioactivity releases did not vary significantly with leachant composition but were sensitive to the ratio of exposed surface area-to-volume of waste form particularly during the initial leaching period.
