Leaching of devitrified glass containing simulated SRP nuclear waste

  • 1. E.I. du Ponte de Nemours and Co., Aiken, SC

Description

Time-temperature-transformation curves have been determined for SRL-165 and SRL-131 waste glasses for all potential waste compositions. SRL-165 glasses, which contains less alkali, exhibit less complex devitrification and higher overall durability than SRL-131 waste glasses. Devitrification was found to have less effect on the durability of waste glasses than changes in composition. Non-uniform dissolution at the glass leached layer interface is observed. However, leached layers formed after 28 days shield the crystal interfaces from further dissolution. 15 refs., 5 figs., 4 tabs
