Progress achieved in HLW vitrification techniques at INE
- Kernforschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH (Germany). Inst. fuer Nucleare Entsorgungstechnik
The progress in the liquid-fed ceramic waste glass melter process for high level waste vitrification is described. The technique has been used in the PAMELA plant in Mol/Belgium from 1985 to 1991. Currently three programs are underway at INE (Institut fuer Nukleare Entsorgungstechnik): a technology program for optimizing the process for noble metals containing high level waste (HLW), a vitrification technology transfer project with China, and a research project on noble metals behavior in an engineering scale melter which is funded by the US Department of Energy with oversight by the Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) in Richland, WA. The status of the programs and results available are described.
