Abstract
Which Is More Essential for Immobilized Radioactive Waste Form: Durability or Impermeability?
Before the answer of this question, which of them is more essential for immobilized radioactive waste form durability or impermeability, it could be favorable to give a brief background about radioactive wastes and its immobilization. A rapid industrial growth and high technological progress are the main sources of the accumulation of these hazardous materials. Nuclear applications have been rapidly developed recently, and several nuclear power plants have been started to work throughout the world.
