Title: Report - Melter Testing of New High Bismuth HLW Formulations VSL-13R2770-1

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1105966· OSTI ID:1105966

The primary objective of the work described was to test two glasses formulated for a high bismuth waste stream on the DM100 melter system. Testing was designed to determine processing characteristics and production rates, assess the tendency for foaming, and confirm glass properties. The glass compositions tested were previously developed to maintain high waste loadings and processing rates while suppressing the foaming observed in previous tests
