Seven day and 28 day compressive strength from radwaste cementation can be predicted during the mixing and early curing stages by at least three methods: maturity, rheology, and impedance. Best results were obtained via the impedance method, where the water-to-cement ratio was seen to be the primary factor. The rheology method produced physically consistent results, but may be to cumbersome to be practical. The results of the maturity method were shown to be limited in its accuracy for determining compressive strength.
