Success in development of cesium-immobilization material

June 15th, 2011

NIMS has developed a new material which enables long-term immobilization of highly concentrated cesium.

A research team led by Dr. Hideki Abe, Principal Researcher of the Environmental Remediation Materials Unit in National Institute for Materials Science (President: Sukekatsu Ushioda), has developed a new material which enables long-term immobilization of cesium in a highly concentrated form. This material is expected to contribute to the technology for treating radioactive cesium isotopes.For more detail, contact:Hideki AbeEnvironmental Remediation Materials UnitNational Institute for Materials ScienceE-Mail: abe.hideki@nims.go.jpFor general inquiry, contact:NIMS Public Relations OfficeTEL: +81-29-859-2026FAX: +81-29-859-2017E-Mail: pr@nims.go.jp
