Hawthorne, J, Black, L and Cann, G (2015) Cementitious grouts for intermediate level nuclear waste (ILW) encapsulation - effect of compositional changes upon hydration. In: UNSPECIFIED 35th Cement and Concrete Science Conference, 26-28 Aug 2015, Aberdeen, UK.
Abstract
Grouts containing high levels of replacement by BFS are the preferred route to disposal for a large majority of ILW in the UK. A number of techniques, SEM image analysis, chemical shrinkage, ICC, TGA and XRD, have been applied to assess the rate and degree of hydration of such cementitious grouts. This study forms a base for quantifying the effects of modifications to the physical and chemical composition of both the OPC and the BFS components of the matrix in order to identify the sensitivity or otherwise of the technique to ensure that a continuity of supply is maintained.
