Description

Hot isostatic pressing has been applied for making synthetic mineral blocks from several types of simulated high-level radioactive waste. In addition, a method to make synthetic corundum canisters for spent fuel by a similar technique has been developed. Full scale canisters (0.5 m outside diameter by 3 m) have been made and an irradiated fuel rod has been enclosed successfully in a monolithic half scale synthetic corundum canister
