Description

Borosilicate glasses are presently the matrix accepted worldwide to solidify high-level radioactive waste from reprocessing fuel elements of nuclear power stations. The glass will experience radiation damage from alpha particles and their associated alpha-recoil atoms, from beta particles (electrons) and from gamma rays. From the viewpoint of the wasteform stability, the most serious radiation effects are expected to be phase separation, pore and/or bubble formation and micro fracturing. These types of microstructural damage may significantly increase the leachability of the primary waste-storage material. (authors). 3 figs., 7 refs
