There is concern in the nuclear industry, however, that the presence of a superplasticiser in grout or backfill cement may increase the solubility of radionuclides in the cementitious pore water and/or reduce their adsorption from solution. This paper describes the effect of a commercial, polycarboxylated, polyether comb type superplasticiser on the behaviour of selected metals in blended cements through a series of batch and monolith leach experiments. Results of batch experiments show that the pr
