Process considerations for hot pressing ceramic nuclear waste forms

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6468562
Spray calcined simulated ceramic nuclear waste powders were hot pressed in graphite, nickel-lined graphite and ZrO/sub 2/-lined Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ dies. Densification, initial off-gas, waste element retention and pellet-die interactions were evaluated. Indicated process considerations and limitations are discussed. 15 figures.
