: The increasing concerns surrounding nuclear safety have led to the need for effective conditioning of low and intermediate-level radioactive wastes containing cesium isotopes. Fly ash-based geopolymers have emerged as a promising environment friendly alternative to traditional cementitious materials for Cs immobilization. Our current study investigated the kinetics of <i>in-situ</i> pollucite crystallization in relation to Cs immobilization in the geopolymers, with the potential positive environmental implications, including reduced CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and utilization of coal-combustion by-products for sustainable nuclear waste disposal.
