In order to investigate chemical stability of solidified products made from Low Level Radioactive Wastes (LLW) by plasma melting, a leaching test based on the MCC (Material Characterization Center)-3S Agitated Powder Leach Test Method was performed to determine Normalized Elemental Mass Loss (NL$$_{i}$$) of both main components (Na, Al, Si, Ca, and Fe) of the solidified product and radioactive tracers ($$^{60}$$Co, $$^{137}$$Cs, and $$^{152}$$Eu) incorporated into it. The results of leaching test indicated that NLi value was greatly affected by basicity defined as weight ratio of CaO to SiO$$_{2}$$ in the solidified product, while effect of FeO concentration on NL$$_{i}$$ value was small. In the case of basicity less than 0.8, logarithm of NL$$_{i}$$ linearly increased with the basicity, implying that NL$$_{i}$$ value can be estimated by chemical composition of the solidified products.
