AbstractThis study demonstrates that glass-crystal composite waste forms can be produced from waste streams containing high proportions of phosphorus, transition metals, and/or halides. The crystalline phases produced in crucible-scale melts include apatite, monazite, spinels, and a Zr-Si-Fe-Ti phase. These phases readily incorporated radionuclide and toxic metals into their crystal structures, while corrosion tests have demonstrated that glass-crystal composites can be up to 300-fold more durable than simulated high-level nuclear waste glasses, such as SRL 202U.

The use of Best Practical Environmental Optioneering (BPEO) has long been part of informed decision making within the Nuclear Industry. However, BPEO has typically been applied to specific and discrete objectives, for example the selection of a technology to treat a particular nuclear waste stream. While this has sometimes been extended to cover a number of objectives, no one had applied BPEO to a programme of the size and complexity of that associated with Legacy Ponds & Silos at Sellafield. The programme, spanning more than 30 years, includes a range of different objectives covering ongoing management, recovery, conditioning, storage and ultimately disposal of nuclear wastes. This range of activities is applied across a number of facilities containing multiple, significant waste streams. This paper explains how BPEO was applied to the Legacy Ponds & Silos programme and discussed some of the learning resulting from that exercise.

ABSTRACTThe oxidation-reduction equilibria of selected multivalent elements in an alkali borosilicate glass melt (Savannah River Laboratory frit #131) were measured as a function of the imposed oxygen fugacity over the temperature range from 950°C to 1350°C. Redox constraints on the processing of high-level nuclear waste into the glass melt require that the prevailing oxygen fugacity be about 10−5 to 10−12 Zatm at 950°C, about 10−2 to 10−9 atm at 1150°C, and about 100 to 10−7 atm at 1350°C. Such conditions circumvent foaming under oxidizing situations and metal/sulfide precipitation if the system becomes too reducing. The defined oxygen fugacity ranges correspond to the previously prescribed range of 0.1 to 0.5 for the [Fe2+]/[Fe3+] ratio in the resulting glass, independent of the processing temperature from 950°C to 1350°C.
