Effect of Gamma Irradiation on Cementitious Materials Hydration
Source abstract
Abstract
Cementation is the principal method for long-term conditioning of intermediate- and low-level nuclear waste (ILW/LLW). During hydration, cementitious matrices are exposed to ionizing radiation - primarily gamma rays - raising the question of the potential effect of irradiation on hydration reactions and, ultimately, on material properties. The available literature presents contradictory results, partly attributable to experimental biases related to temperature, drying, and carbonation under irradiation conditions.
