The behavior of some components of high-level liquid wastes (uranium, plutonium, and radiogenic americium) when introduced into phosphate and borosilicate glassy composites was studied. By the examples of natural uranium, {sup 239}Pu, and {sup 241}Am, the distribution of these {alpha}-particle emitters over the bulk of a glass melt was shown; their solubilities in the composites were studied; and the compositions of the heterogeneous phases formed in melts and the valence state of dissolved uranium were determined. The results of these investigations indicated the restricted solubility of some radionuclides in glassy composites.
