Abstract

Nuclear waste in Iraq has three major sources; spent nuclear fuel from the old Iraqi Atomic Energy Organization in Al-Twitha site, waste from radioactive isotopes used in medicine and waste generated by the nuclear weapons used in the war against Iraq in 2003. These waste need to storage until becomes safety. Therefore in this study nuclear wastes (strontium oxides (SiO) and cerium (Ce)) were stored by vitrification methods in two types of borosilicate glass (glass and glass-ceramics) and the effect of beta ray on the immobilized waste was done. Then the leaching rate of strontium oxide and ceriumin borosilicate glass before and after irradiated by beta ray and neutron flux were investigated. It found that the leaching was not affected by beta-ray and neutrons.
