Progress is reported on research and development work in pot calcination and radiant-heat spray calcination studies of synthetic Purex high-level wastes; and sorption studies using synthetic minerals and resins as well as natural minerals. The calcination studies are discussed in terms of batch calcination, melting of pot calcination products, spray calcination, and off-gas treatment; and sorption studies in terms of mineral reactions, fixation chemistry, and condensate wastes.
