Technology description including background system The manufacturing process for the Agrocrete® mix begins with collecting and transporting all raw materials to the plant in Vishakhapatnam. The raw materials include paddy straw from farmers and industrial by-products like fly ash and grounded slags. At the plant, the collected crop residue or straw is processed with water to achieve a uniform moisture content. Parallelly, a slag-based mineral binder is formed using alkali salts. Once complete, the processed straw and fly ash are mixed with the binder to form the Agrocrete® mix. This mix is then moulded into solid and hollow blocks of various sizes. The LCA results in the next section of this document provide information for these moulded blocks made of the Agrocrete® mix.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
