A product consistency durability test for SRP nuclear waste glass

OSTI ID:6886078
Beginning in 1990, Savannah River Plant (SRP) will be converting its high-level nuclear waste to a borosilicate glass. To ensure that this glass will be acceptable for permanent storage in a federal repository, SRP must demonstrate that the durability of the glass has been controlled during production. This paper describes the product consistency test (PCT) being developed to demonstrate this control. The PCT measures 7-day releases from crushed glass in deionized water at 90/degree/C. The sensitivity of the PCT to glass composition and homogeneity was determined. Normalized release rates adhered to the linear relationship predicted by the hydration model for glass durability.
