Extract

As already mentioned in the overview paper /1/ the in-situ solidification process requires a preconditioning of MLW/LLW arisings by granulation. The main purpose thereof is the dissipation of the heat of hydration already above ground and to replace in the final concrete like waste form a considerable part (i.e. 60 vol.%) with inert granules.
