Geopolymers in nuclear waste storage and immobilization: mechanisms, applications, and challenges by M. Houhou, N. Leklou, H. Ranaivomanana, JD. Penot, S. de Barros

“…Cementitious materials such as ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and other materials are commonly employed as engineered barriers for the long-term containment of nuclear waste in both surface and underground geological repositories. However, recent studies show that geopolymer (GP), a novel class of cementitious materials, exhibit superior performance in immobilizing radioactive contaminants with reported compressive strength exceeding 50 MPa and leach rates for cesium and strontium ions reduced by over 95% compared to OPC based barriers. …”
