Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This book covers all important aspects of immobilization, from nuclear decay, to regulations, to new technologies and methods. Significant focus is given to the analysis of the various matrices used in transport including cement, bitumen and glass, with the greatest attention being given to glass. The last chapter concentrates on the performance assessment of each matrix, and on new developments of ceramics and glass composite materials, thermochemical methods and in-situ metal matrix immobilization. The book thoroughly covers all issues surrounding nuclear waste from where to locate nuclear waste in the environment, through nuclear waste generation and sources, treatment schemes and technologies, immobilization technologies and waste forms, disposal and long term behavior. Particular attention is paid to internationally approved and worldwide-applied approaches and technologies. This book will benefit materials, environmental and energy scientists and researchers.
