An advanced spent fuel management process based on the Li reduction of oxide spent fuel to a metallic form, under development at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), will generate a LiCl waste. To develop an immobilization process of the LiCl waste salt using zeolite A, the behavior of zeolite A in molten LiCl salt with CsCl and SrCl2 has been investigated at 923 K. All the types of zeolite A’s have been transformed into zeolite Li-A after contact with molten LiCl salt. The sodalite phase has also been formed for the high LiCl/zeolite ratio, and this sodalite formation has been enhanced by an addition of CsCl or SrCl2. These results seem to be caused by the high temperature and Li concentration during the occlusion step. Ion-exchange properties of Cs and Sr at 923 K were very similar to those of the LiCl-KCl eutectic salt at 725 K: an uptake of Cs reached an equilibrium state very rapidly and kept constant, while that of Sr reached a maximum and decreased slightly.

The specific and equivalent conductances of molten sodium chlorate and of its mixtures with sodium nitrate have been determined over the temperature range 240–280 °C. The results are treated as temperature functions at constant composition and as composition functions at constant temperature. From these data, the activation energies of conductance have been derived. The results have been compared with various theoretical equations and the conclusion is made that, while melts containing lithium chlorate may be associated or complexed in some way, the sodium chlorate melts show less of such a structure and are more ionic.
