Description

Lead-iron phosphate (LIP) glasses are a promising new waste form for the safe immobilization of both high level defence and high level commercial radioactive waste for long term disposal. LIP glasses have several advantage such as lower aqueous corrosion rate, lower processing temperature etc. The durability test for LIP glasses showed that the alkaline earth oxides BaO, SrO and CaO decrease the durability whilst PbO/ CeO2 improves the corrosion resistance. From the radiotracer leaching studies the role of Ce4+ as good binder-modifier is established. (author)
