Method to produce bodies containing high-radioactive waste and/or actinides in granulated glass

According to the main patent no. 2524169, a corrosion-resistant container is filled with granulated glass which contains high-activity wastes or actinides, and a liquid metal or metal alloy is then filled in which confines the radioactive granulate when cooled down. The patent claim deals with wastes whose activity is not so high that heat must be removed at once by liquid metal. The inventor proposes to fill the metal matrix in the form of rods or shredded metal and melt it afterwards, making sure that the waste material is completely covered and enclosed, if necessary by filling in additional matrix material.
