Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods that utilize radiation to set cementitious compositions can be used to set a pipe or casing in a wellbore. The systems and methods involve connecting a radiation tool to the top plug of a two-plug system used to place the cementitious composition in the annulus between the pipe and the wellbore. The systems and methods provide for radiating the cementitious composition as it is introduced into the wellbore and as the radiation tool is retrieved from the pipe.
