This document outlines the program being conducted at Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) for evaluation of the chemical durability and integrity of Savannah River Plant (SRP) waste glasses. The program is divided into three major parts. These parts include studies in the areas of (1) basic glass corrosion, (2) corrosion of waste glass by specific repository conditions, and (3) intercomparison leachability tests. The durability will be assessed by solution analyses of the leachant and surface analyses of the waste glass. The specific tests used in each part of the program are listed. Also listed are details of each experiment and the information that will be obtained.
