Les bitumes [...] possèdent des qualités communes très intéressantes pour l'enrobage des déchets radioactifs [...]. [Ils] se différencient surtout par leur tenue à l'irradiation (les bitumes soufflés étant les plus radiorésistants), et à un degré moindre par leur taux de lixiviation de la radioactivité (les bitumes de distillation directe étant les moins lixiviables). D'une façon générale, l'enrobé bitumeux doit [...] avoir un taux de lixiviation de la radioactivité aussi faible que possible lorsqu'il est en contact avec l'eau [...]. 5, record 4, French, - lixiviation%20de%20la%20radioactivit%C3%A9

Dans le cas des rejets d'effluents liquides, on cherche à parvenir dans les temps les plus brefs à la plus grande dispersion possible. Dans le cas des déchets radioactifs solides ou solidifiés, l'approche est différente [...] : ces déchets, dans des conteneurs appropriés, sont immergés à une profondeur et à une distance des côtes considérables, de façon que la dissolution et la lixiviation, ou léchage, de la radioactivité par l'eau de mer se produisent progressivement pour aboutir à terme à la dispersion et la dilution très larges des radionucléides contenus. 4, record 4, French, - lixiviation%20de%20la%20radioactivit%C3%A9
