Title: PNL vitrification technology development project glass formulation strategy for LLW vitrification

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/207669· OSTI ID:207669

This Glass Formulation Strategy describes development approaches to optimize glass compositions for Hanford`s low-level waste vitrification between now and the projected low-level waste facility start-up in 2005. The objectives of the glass formulation task are to develop optimized glass compositions with satisfactory long-term durability, acceptable processing characteristics, adequate flexibility to handle waste variations, maximize waste loading to practical limits, and to develop methodology to respond to further waste variations.
