Abstract

The samples of the magnesium potassium phosphate (MPP) matrix have been synthesized during solidification of the simulator of acid intermediate level waste. The main phase of the obtained samples corresponds to MgK1−x(NH4)xPO4 × 6H2O. The behavior of the matrix components during leaching with bidistilled water according to the semi-dynamic test GOST R 52126-2003 has been studied. The high hydrolytic stability of the MPP matrix to leaching of 137Cs, 90Sr, 239Pu and 241Am exceeding the stability of the cement matrix has been shown. It has been found that the components leaching process is controlled by various mechanisms due to the formation of the salts with different solubility.
