There are two methods of fastening an outlet box to a concrete wall. One is with a power activated tool like a Ramset or a Hilti gun. These use cartridges that shoot a threaded pin into the concrete and then the box is bolted on to the pin.
The second method is drilling a hole in the wall with a carbide drill bit. This tool is also made by Hilti. Once the hole is drilled into the wall, a plastic or lead anchor is installed by hammering it into the hole. When the anchor is flush with the wall face, the junction box is put into place and a pan head screw is used to fasten the box to the concrete wall.

How do you dispose cobalt?
Low level radioactive wastes containing cobalt-60 must be kept totally isolated from the environment for approximately 100 years, to allow them to effectively fully decay to nonradioactive products.One way of doing this would be to:if the waste is not already completely solid, convert it to solid formcast the solid low level radioactive waste inside concrete cylindersin an approved hazmat disposal site, pour a concrete pad inside a well built waste storage buildingplace the concrete cylinders containing the low level radioactive waste on this concrete padcover the concrete cylinders with layers of different materials to prevent the flow of rainwater through the wastes

Why pouring concrete onto a driveway and allowing it to set a chemical change?
allowing concrete to set is a chemical reaction where the Portland cement goes from a liquid slurry between the rocks and sand in the concrete (called aggregate) to a crystalline medium that bonds the aggregate together as an artificial mineral. In addition to radically changing the physical properties of the concrete (from a runny goo to a solid surface) the process also gives off a significant amount of heat and isn't easily reversible.
