After an exceptionally smooth test period, the high-level waste vitrification plant at Marcoule, France, (initially a demonstration plant) now operates on a routine industrial basis. At the plant, backlogged military waste is solidified, and natural uranium fuel is reprocessed. Boro-silicate glass was selected as the preferred solidification route. The pilot plant at Marcoule opened in 1969 and produced some 12 tons of glass containing five MCi of fission product activity. W. Germany, Belgium, and Japan are showing interest in the Vitrification de Marcoule (AVM) process. (2 diagrams, 2 photos)
