Nuclear waste vitrification in a ceramic-lined electric glass melter. [Federal Republic of Germany]

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Ind. Appl.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5209468

Vitrification of high-level liquid waste from the nuclear fuel cycle in a liquid-fed electric glass melter is described with particular reference to the present status of the melter technology developed at the Institut fuer Nukleare Entsorgungstechnik (INE), Karlsruhe, West Germany. Based on available experience with simulated waste solutions. It is shown that electric melting of waste glass is a promising technique that can substantially simplify nuclear waste vitrification. 4 refs.
