title: Advances in cement solidification technology for waste radioactive ion exchange resins: a review.
abstract: Treatment and disposal of waste radioactive ion exchange resins is one of the most urgent problems for nuclear industries in China. Cement solidification technology has many advantages, such as requiring simple equipment, easy scaling-up, low working temperature, no trouble of gas cleaning and low cost. It is a suitable technology for treatment of waste radioactive resins, and has been widely used. The new developments and theoretical basis of cement solidification of radioactive resins were introduced in this paper. The cement solidification technology suitable for China and the questions needed to solve were also discussed.
