Abstract:Beryllium metal is used as neutron moderator and reflector or multiplier in certain types of fission or fusion reactors. Dismantling of these reactors will produce radioactive beryllium waste, classified as low- or intermediate-level waste, that will need to be stabilised and solidified before being sent to disposal. The cementation process is under consideration because it may offer a good compromise between simplicity of implementation, cost, and quality of the final cemented wasteform. Nevertheless, knowled… Show more
