Cellulose-based wastes, e.g. protective clothes, cotton, filter paper, towel paper represented an important fraction of solid low and intermediate levels radioactive wastes, originated from peaceful applications of nuclear technologies, and comprise in some cases up to 40 % of their composition. Many of these wastes have been identified as "problematic" due to their organic nature as well as the radioactivity content. A current study explored a new method for treating and solidifying cellulose-based wastes. One of the most challenging problems facing mankind is the waste disposal due to the...
