Densification/creep behavior of experimental glass-ceramic waste forms for immobilization of high-level calcined waste at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10162174
A mixture of simulated high-level calcined waste (HLW) and Frit additives was hot isostatically pressed (HIPed) to a dense glass- ceramic waste for. A densification mapping software was developed for modeling HIP processing parameters such as soak temperature, soak pressure, densification rate, relative density, and calcine particle size. For a typical glass-ceramic waste form the model predicts the prominent densification/creep mechanism. This document provides a discussion of this process.
