Abstract: The measurement of the leach resistance of waste forms is important in waste management. The used method for leach test is the published national standard method (GB 7023—86) in China. However, some lack in the standard method need to be modified. The period of test is too long, and only the leaching rate on the 42nd day of cemented waste is required in GB 14569.1—93. And the leaching rate of nuclides on the 42nd day is used to evaluate the leach resistance of waste form, which cannot roundly reflect the difference of waste form. The accelerated leach method was adopted and the leachability index of nuclides was used to evaluate the leach resistance of waste form in American standard ANSI/ANS-16.1. The data from the leach test during the several past years were calculated newly referring to ANSI/ANS-16.1. It is found that the leachability index of nuclides can be educed from the leaching rate when the cumulative fraction leached is less than 0.20, and it is possible to establish a test method with a short-term test procedure and use the leachability index to evaluate the leach resistance of waste form.
