This report is one in a series of reports that presents the results from the High Level Waste (HLW) glass formulation development and testing work performed at the Vitreous State Laboratory (VSL) of the Catholic University of America (CUA) to support the development of IHLW property-composition models for the River Protection Project-Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (RPP-WTP). Specifically, this report presents results of glass testing at VSL to support the development of IHLW Product Consistency Test (PCT) and one-percent crystal fraction temperature (T_1%) models. The data will be used to augment and refine Phase 1 models during Phase 2 of the IHLW model development work. The Phase 2 IHLW PCT and T_1% models will be used to support qualification of the IHLW products. Completion of the test objectives is addressed in the table below.
