Ces bitumes [qui sont utilisés pour l'enrobage des déchets radioactifs] se différencient surtout par leur tenue à l'irradiation (les bitumes soufflés étant les plus radiorésistants) et à un degré moindre par leur résistance à l'attaque à l'eau ou lixiviation (les bitumes de distillation directe étant les moins lixiviables).
