Abstract
Environmental radiation monitoring has been strengthened over the significant amounts of industrial wastes characterized as radioactive by existing public health standards. Today a large amount of solid radioactive wastes are solids and construction materials. The Radon Scientific Production Association in Moscow uses a combined method of fixing solid and liquid radioactive wastes in a cement monolith which is buried under the surface in cement vaults. As practice has shown, cement mortar does not penetrate the voids of the loose layer formed when soils and construction materials are stored together. If the water-tight seal of the storage container is the destroyed, surface water easily penetrates deep into the cement monolith and erodes it. Therefore the Radon Scientific Production Association now puts the solid and liquid radioactive wastes in small boxes, which allows the solid wastes to be distributed evenly in the cement monolith. The boxes also form an additional isolation barrier in storage and are convenient to transport.
