The paper describes the results obtained in the laboratory investigations on the mechanical and sorption properties of the cement-based radioactive waste form containing two kinds of sludge in different concentrations. One of them simulates the sludge obtained by treatment of liquid radioactive effluents using an anionic polyelectrolyte named PA-type, and the other one simulates the sludge obtained by decontamination of contaminated surfaces using a hydrogel named pNaAc-type. The influence of the concentration of sludge on the compressive as well as on bending strength of the cement-based radioactive waste forms was studied. The sorption properties of two radionuclides were studied.
