Research and development activities on the solidification of radioactive residues are reported. Work is reported on the following activities: small-scale spray and pot calcination studies with actual high-level radioactive wastes, large-scale spray solidification studies with non-radioactive simulated wastes, and design and fabrication of an engineering-scale prototype for demonstration of three promising processes (pot calcination, spray solidification, and phosphate glass solidification) with actual high-level radioactive wastes.
