Glass waste forms for radioactive waste containment

Creators

Description

Glass appears to be a promising medium for storing and disposing of high-level radioactive waste. The waste can be readily vitrified into a chemically durable material that appears to be resistant to potential changes caused by the self-heating nature and the contained radioactivity of the waste. Investigations are continuing but the evidence to date indicates that the vitrified product is a highly stable material well-suited for geologic isolation. 15 figures, 3 tables
