17 - 289Development of Zirconium/Magnesium Phosphate Composites forImmobilization of Fission Products. — A Zr/Mg phosphate compositeis developed and can stabilize ash waste that is contaminated with a radioac-tive surrogate of the 137Cs and 90Sr species. Short- and long-term leachingtests both show effective containment. The performance of the final wasteproducts satisfies the regulatory criteria. — (SINGH, DILEEP; TLUSTO-CHOWICZ, MARCIN; WAGH, ARUN S.; J. Am. Ceram. Soc. 82 (1999) 1,43-49; Energy Technol.
