This interim report covers theoretical and experimental aspects of a series of scoping tests using depleted uranium oxide pieces as aggregate in portland cement to form concrete (DUCRETE). DUCRETE is expected to provide a high integrity material suitable for shielding in spent nuclear fuel containers or for direct disposal in a low- level waste repository. The uranium oxide would produced by conversion of depleted UF{sub 6} stored by the Department of Energy
