Conventionally, the solidification method using cement has been widely used to solidify radioactive waste. When solidifying with cement, water is required, which has the disadvantage of generating a large amount of solidified radioactive waste. For this reason, an asphalt solidification method that does not require water was introduced. However, the solidified material produced by the asphalt solidification method has the drawbacks of being flammable and having low mechanical strength.
