SETTLING OF SPINEL IN A HIGH-LEVEL WASTE GLASS MELTER
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington
High-level nuclear waste is being vitrified, i.e., converted to a durable glass that can be stored in a safe repository for hundreds of thousands of years. Waste vitrification is accomplished in reactors called melters to which the waste is charged together with glass-forming additives. The mixture is electrically heated to a temperature as high as 1150 decrees C to create a melt that becomes glass on cooling.
