Abstract

The low and medium level radioactive wastes are transformed into an almost homogeneous mass by mixing them with "Mexphalt 10/20" at 200 to 230° C ; after cooling the mass solidifies and behaves as a non elutable tar block. Elution tests with ground and seawater have shown an elution rate of 0.7 to 4x10^-6g/cm²/day Which corresponds to a diffusion coefficient of 1.2 to 2.5x10^-10cm²/day. An industrial insolubilization installation was constructed with capacity of 100 l/h. In order to evaluate the storage capacity for insolubilized wastes on the site of the Belgian Nuclear Centre S.C.K. C.E.N., a thorough study was undertaken on the migration rate of radionuclides in soils. From this study the following quantities of insolublized wastes were found to be a maximum storage capacity per annum: 500 Cl of Cs¹³⁷ and Sr⁹⁰, 200 Cl of Pm¹⁴⁷; 100 Cl of Ru¹⁰⁶ and 10 Cl of U-Pu. At equilibrium 75mCl of Cs¹³⁷and Sr⁹⁰, 7mCl of Pm¹⁴⁷ and 2.2 mCl of Ru¹⁰⁶will be eluted. Sr⁹⁰ constitutes the limiting factor in the storage capacity because of its high relative velocity in the ground water.
