Title: Road Map for Development of Crystal-Tolerant High Level Waste Glasses

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1149233· OSTI ID:1149233

This road map guides the research and development for formulation and processing of crystal-tolerant glasses, identifying near- and long-term activities that need to be completed over the period from 2014 to 2019. The primary objective is to maximize waste loading for Hanford waste glasses without jeopardizing melter operation by crystal accumulation in the melter or melter discharge riser. The potential applicability to the Savannah River Site (SRS) Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) is also addressed in this road map.
