Abstract
The applicability of bentonite clay-based ceramics for immobilization of waste from pyrochemical reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel–spent electrolyte, which consists of alkali metal chlorides, was studied. Main matrix characteristics such as the phase composition, mechanical durability, leaching rate and microstructure were studied. The results obtained were compared to the requirements to the cement compound, formulated in NP-019-15 document. The matrix was considered to be suitable for the radioactive waste disposal.
