- Additional information
- This research was sponsored by EPSRC (EP/P013171/1) as part of the UK-Japan Civil Nuclear Energy Programme, in partnership with Hokkaido University. This study provides irrefutable evidence that geopolymer grouts are effective encapsulation matrices for the safe disposal of radioactive ion exchangers, currently used for the Fukushima Daiichi accident clean-up. This is a consequence of the excellent chemical compatibility between the geopolymers and the inorganic ion exchangers evaluated. The continuation of this research has been recently funded through (EP/T013524/1) in collaboration with the Japan Atomic Energy Agency.
