Description

The authors describe the concentrations in aqueous solutions of Tc, Np, Pu and Am measured, using doped glasses, in the presence of various possible components of a future repository for vitrified high-level waste. The experiments were carried out under the reducing conditions anticipated in a repository. One possible repository design would incorporate a 20cm thick iron overpack round the glass cylinders and a backfill of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA)
