Laboratory testing of West Valley reference 6 glass

OSTI ID:82325
A series of laboratory tests is being conducted to characterize the corrosion of West Valley reference 6 glass (WV6) and to provide parametric values for modeling its long-term durability. Models require measurement of the corrosion rate in the absence of corrosion products and in fluids that are {open_quotes}saturated{close_quotes} with corrosion products, and the identification of alteration phases. Corrosion rates in dilute and saturated conditions were measured using MCC-1 and PCT tests, respectively. Vapor hydration tests were performed to generate secondary phases. The PCT tests show the WV6 glass to be more durable than SRL EA, SRL 202, and HW-39-1 glasses. Vapor hydration tests show weeksite (a uranyl silicate), a potassium-bearing zeolite, analcime, potassium feldspar, a calcium silicate phase, and lithium phosphate to form as WV6 glass corrodes. Test results are presented and their relevance to long-term performance discussed.
