Sorbents based on mineral and industrial materials for radioactive wastes immobilization

Nuclear engineering development inevitably results in risks of radiation instability in regions. The creation of scientific basis of radiation safety of population and environment is the vital task, which requires search and study of sorbents that are able to deactivate radioactive sources. Sorption materials, based on mineral and technogenic raw, on the example of analcime-bearing rocks and red mud, have been observed within this task. The complex of modern study methods was used, physical and chemical features of the specified sorbents are presented, immobilization and disposal technologies of radioactive wastes are discussed.
