Abstract  

This paper presents results from studies made to determine the leachability of137Cs from immobilized evaporator sludge from a Pressurized Water Reactor with cement. Leaching of137Cs from cement matrix using three methods based on theoretical equations has been developed. These were: Method I, diffusion equation derived for a plane source model, Method II, rate equation for diffusion coupled with a first-order reaction. The leaching data were also analyzed by an empirical method employing a polynomial equation —Method III. Results presented in this paper are examples of data obtained in a cement testing project which will influence the design of a future radioactive waste storage center.
