Abstract
Based on gamma irradiations with a60Co source, the results obtained demonstrate that the first approach is efficient but yet limited because the production of hydrogen of Portland pastes is about proportional to the total amount of water present in the materials. Thus, a tremendous drop of hydrogen production cannot be reach because rheological constraint does not allow a huge reduction of water, even with efficient superplasticizers. The second approach using calcium sulfoaluminate cements as an alternative binder provides results that are quite similar to Portland cement concerning the production of hydrogen under gamma irradiation.
