Next-Generation Low-Carbon Cement Wasteforms for Safe Disposal of Radioactive Waste

University of Sheffield Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering

In the UK, over 150,000m3 of radioactive waste (enough to fill 60 Olympic size swimming pools) has been produced to date. Most of this radioactive waste needs conditioning by encapsulating it in cement to prevent release to the biosphere. Read more
