Abstract
The samples of the magnesium potassium phosphate (MPP) compound have been synthesized during solidification of high level waste (HLW) surrogate. The compound consists of a main phosphate phases Mg1.1Na0.35K0.45PO4 × (4–6)H2O and MgCs0.5Na0.2K0.3PO4 × (5–6)H2O. Differential leaching rates of 239Pu, 152Eu and 90Sr from the MPP compound after heat treatment (450 °C) are 7.8 × 10−9; 1.7 × 10−7 and 8.8 × 10−6 g cm−2 day−1, respectively. The coefficient of thermal expansion of MPP compound—(11.6 ± 0.3) × 10−6 °C−1; coefficient of thermal conductivity averages 0.5 W m−1 K−1. The properties of MPP compound meet the regulatory requirements for solidified HLW.
