Creators

  • 1. Australian Atomic Energy Commission, Lucas Heights Research Laboratories, Sutherland, New South Wales 2232

Description

Synroc has been fabricated at the AAEC Research Establishment on a 30-kg scale by using uniaxial hot-pressing. A demonstration plant is being designed to prove the technology and provide firm fabrication cost estimates. The effects of processing parameters, leaching conditions, and irradiation damage on its ability to immobilize radwaste elements have been evaluated
