Curium-doped simulated nuclear waste glasses that received a cumulative ..cap alpha..-recoil dose of 9 x 10/sup 24/ ..cap alpha.. decays/m/sup 3/ were leach-tested under static conditions in deionized water at 90 C for 14 d. Test results indicate a difference of less than a factor of two between annealed and (saturation) radiation-damaged glass in the release of /sup 244/Cm, glass-forming constituents, and simulated waste products. 10 references, 1 table.
