Transuranic waste management program waste form development

Creators

Description

The assessment of the available data indicates that dewatered concretes, synthetic basalts, and borosilicate glass waste forms appear to be viable candidates for immobilization of large fractions of the TRU waste inventory in a geologic repository. Product developments and evaluation work will continue. Future investigations will focus on representative actinide-loaded TRU waste being incorporated into the waste forms. Standardized tests are being developed by the Material Characterization Center (MCC) and will be used to obtain and evaluate comparative release rate data for these waste form materials
