Argonne materials scientist Arun Wagh displays three plates made of Ceramicrete, the same composite that is now used as the basis for casks that can safely store nuclear material.
Innovative cement helps DOE safeguard nuclear facilities

When Argonne materials scientists Arun Wagh and Dileep Singh initially developed Ceramicrete®, a novel phosphate cement that stabilizes radioactive waste streams, they did not immediately recognize that with one or two extra ingredients, the cement could solve another problem in the nuclear complex.
