    Abstract:

    Pollucite,Cs-analogue of micas and Cs-enriched beryl are the common Cs-enriched minerals in nature. They all occur in the central part or exocontact wall rocks of the rare-element granites and LCT(Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum)-type pegmatites. The presence of Cs-enriched minerals suggests they should crystallize in the primary granitic melts with cesium and volatile in origin which undergo the high to extreme degrees fraction in a stable tectonic environment. Cs concentration in Cs-enriched minerals are above 15%,so their synthetic phases are considered to be the potential containers of radioactive isotope ~ 137 Cs in the nuclear waste,and the mineralogical characteristics of Cs-enriched minerals,such as chemical composition and crystal structure,have a good significance on the selection of the container of ~ 137 Cs in the nuclear waste,the selection of the deep-bury geological environment and the prediction of the synthetic phases' behavior in different geological environment.
