Abstract

According to the present invention, a fibrous material having a property to adsorb radioactive nuclides in the form of ion or molecule onto its surface is added to a cement type hydraulic solidifying material used for a solidifying material, a waste container, a structure in disposal site and a back-filling material used for production of a waste form of radioactive wastes, whereby improvement of long-term endurance of the waste form, the structure and the like and diminishment of leaching of radioactivity from the waste form and the like can be simultaneously attained.
