- Abstract
- The workshop on Cement Stabilization of Low-Level Radioactive Waste was co-sponsored by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and National Institute of Standards and Technology and held in Gaithersburg, Maryland on May 31-June 2, 1989. The workshop provided a forum for exchanging information on the solidification and stabilization of low-level radioactive waste in cement among federal and state regulators, nuclear power station operators, cement vendors, national laboratory researchers and consultants. The workshop was structured into a 'Plenary' and four 'Working Group' sessions. Each working group session discussed specific issues: Lessons learned from small- and full-scale waste forms and observations at nuclear power stations; Laboratory test experience and application to problem waste streams; Stabilized waste form testing guidance; and Waste characterization, solidification, and process control programs.
