1. A process for encasing a solid mass of radioactive waste of large dimensions comprising: (1) premixing an ambient temperature-thermosetting resin with a cross-linking agent, a plasticizer, and an inert filler;  (2) suspending said solid radioactive waste mass in said premixed resin; and  (3) cross-linking said resin, said inert filler serving to reduce shrinkage and prevent cracking during said cross-linking, wherein said radioactive mass is encased in said resin under water.  (1) premixing an ambient temperature-thermosetting resin with a cross-linking agent, a plasticizer, and an inert filler;  (2) introducing said premixed resin into a mold;  (3) suspending said solid radioactive waste mass in said premixed resin within said mold; and  (4) cross-linking said resin, said inert filler serving to reduce shrinkage and prevent cracking during said cross-linking,  wherein said radioactive mass is encased in said resin under water. 2.
