AbstractAbstract
[en] Presently, borosilicate glass (BSG) is the acceptable vitrification matrix for the immobilization of high level waste. The solubility of Mo in BSG is limited in the presence of Cs. As per the literature, solubility of Mo in BSG is about 2.5 wt. % in the presence of Cs. Hence it is difficult to immobilize nuclear waste rich in Cs and Mo in borosilicate glass. It is observed that the composition of Cs and Mo expressed as oxides are 10.4 and 14.7 wt. % respectively in simulated fast reactor waste. Iron phosphate glass containing 20 wt. % simulated fast reactor waste (referred as IP20FRW) was synthesized and characterized. IP20FRW contains ~ 3 wt. % of molybdenum oxide along with 2 wt. % cesium oxide. IPG is a suitable matrix for the immobilization of Cs and Mo separately. Hence it is essential to understand the glass characteristics of IPG containing both Cs and Mo. This paper explores systematic loading of both Cs and Mo such that the final composition corresponds to 10.5 wt. % Cs_2O-15 wt. % MoO_3-31.9 wt. % Fe_2O_3-42.6 wt. % P_2O_5. In addition to synthesis, the present study also includes understanding the change in glass characteristics of IPG containing both Cs and Mo. The possibility of higher percent loading of both Cs and Mo in IPG demonstrates the better glass forming characteristics of IPG. The synthesis and characterization of Cs-Mo loaded glasses will be discussed in this paper. (author)
