Appraisal of a cementitious material for waste disposal: neutron imaging studies of pore structure and sorptivity

Abstract
To characterise and to evaluate the durability, structural properties and sorptivity of a candidate wasteform for ILW and gain an understanding of the factors that control water movement through the matrix and the matrix and the resultant degradation process.
