METHOD FOR PACKING RADIOACTIVE WASTES IN SHIELDING CONTAINER AND CONTAINER CASING USED FOR THE PURPOSE Russian patent published in 2001 - IPC

FIELD: disposal of radioactive wastes. SUBSTANCE: upon charging container casing with radioactive wastes its charging end is case-hardened throughout its cross-sectional area with steel-fiber-concrete mix over internal non-return deck, mix is allowed to harden under specified conditions, and then case-hardened end is sealed.
