Comparison of short-term leaching in both radiation-damaged and annealed nuclear waste glasses

  • 1. Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA

Description

Curium-doped simulated nuclear waste glasses that received a cumulative α-recoil dose of 9 x 1024 α decays/m3 were leach-tested under static conditions in deionized water at 90 C for 14 d. Test results indicate a difference of less than a factor of two between annealed and (saturation) radiation-damaged glass in the release of 244Cm, glass-forming constituents, and simulated waste products. 10 references, 1 table
