The synthesis of poly-phase waste form, which is an immobilization matrix for the HLW, was performed with the mixed composition of garnet and spinel (Gd{sub 3}Fe{sub 5}O{sub 12}+(Ni{sub x}Mn{sub 1-x})(Fe{sub y}Cr{sub 1-y}){sub 2}O{sub 4}) at temperatures in the range of 1200 deg. C to 1400 deg. C. The phases synthesized from all stoichiometric compositions were garnet, perovskite, and spinel. Especially, garnet was synthesized only in the composition of the highest content of Fe(y=0.9), whereas it was not synthesized in other compositions. This result indicated that the content of Fe was closely related to the formation of garnet. The composition of garnet revealed that the content of Gd was exceeded and that of Fe was depleted. Preferential distribution of elements in the phases can be attributed to the nonstoichiometric composition of garnet. (authors)
