Transport of radioactive elements in concrete due to utilization of recycled aggregate contaminated with nuclides
In the future, a huge amount of concrete waste will be generated in preparation for the demolition of nuclear power plants. From the perspective of rational processing and disposal, it is possible to reuse this waste, particularly waste with low levels of radioactivity, as recycled aggregate. Clarifying how radioactive materials migrate inside concrete is extremely important in building a safe and secure society.
