Abstract

Process for the conditioning of solid radioactive waste with large dimensions, constituted by contaminated objects such as cartridge filters, metal chips, tools etc., wherein said waste is incorporated into an ambient temperature-thermosetting resin to which has previously been added at least one inert filler, and the said resin is then cross-linked. One application is the encasing of solid radioactive waste below water, particularly at the bottom of a pond.
