The stability of two different chemical types of cross-linked super absorbent polymers has been explored using a surrogate waste of 3M Sodium Nitrate (NaNO{sub 3}) that had pH adjusted using concentrated Nitric Acid (HNO{sub 3}) to pH of 1, 2, 4 and 6. Tests showed both types of polymer gelled the surrogate waste liquids. On-going stability tests revealed that there was no breakdown of the waste form after 11 months and no release of free liquids.
