Experiments on the Incorporation of Concentrated Solutions of Fission Products in Glasses and Micas; ESSAIS D'INCORPORATION DE SOLUTIONS CONCENTREES DE PRODUITS DE FISSION DANS DES VERRES ET DES MICAS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4264140
The permanent storing of concentrated fission products in liquid form presents many difficulties. Therefore, the possibility of fixing these activities in solid form in glasses and micas was investigated. In the preliminary tests reported on, a synthetic waste solution with cesium radioisotopes was used. The incorporation in glasses was studied in various sodium and potassium silicoaluminates. The retention of fission products by synthetic micas was also examined. The results showed the retention of cesium is good. Tests on the leaching to the glasses and micas by sea water gave satisfactory results. (J.S.R.)
