Extract

The relative leaching behavior of seven alkali borosilicate glasses considered for immobilization of high level radioactive wastes was compared using a static 90°C leach test similar to MCC-l. All compositions (Table I) were compatible with the low melting temperature, 1150*C, viscosity and other process variables required for the French AVM process. The quantity of simulated waste products was from 10.9-15.9 weight %.
