Process for embedding radioactive, especially tritium containing waste

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6079152
;

Radioactive, particularly tritium-containing, waste must be stored in such manner that the environment is not endangered. This is done by conditioning the waste and embedding it in concrete whereby a central temperature of the product of 90-95/sup 0/C. must not be exceeded and therewith a dilution is necessary. These difficulties are overcome by inserting the waste in a metal matrix so that the waste is pressed with a metal powder at room temperature to molded bodies.
