Abstract
High-level waste-fission-product solution containing 1000 c was incorporated into glass blocks and the blocks buried for 3 years in sand beneath the water-table. The experiment has shown that, even in saturated soil with low exchange capacity, the method of disposal was safe and the escape of hazardous radionuclides was within acceptably low limits.
