Glass Durability Along the Compositional Continuum Between a Phase Separated Frit and a Homogeneous Glass
Description
Seven non-radioactive glass compositions spanning the range of wastes to be processed in the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) were studied prior to start up of the Processing DWPF melter. These glasses were produced by Corning Glass Works and were designated Waste Compliance Plan (WCP) glasses.New glasses were melted by adding Frit 202 to the WCP-Purex glass and the resulting glass compositions were examined for amorphous phase separation using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The durability of the glasses was measured using the Product Consistency Test (PCT), ASTM C 1285-94
