AbstractSellafield Ltd operates a Waste Vitrification Plant (WVP) to immobilise the arisings from the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. Washout of solids from the base of waste storage tanks in preparation for decommissioning is likely to produce feeds enriched in molybdenum to the WVP. Vitrification of such feeds in the borosilicate glass formulation currently used by the WVP for vitrification of reprocessing waste has been investigated to determine the maximum achievable loading of MoO3.The vitrification of molybdenum in the absence and presence of reprocessing waste was studied. A number of glasses were manufactured in the laboratory containing various waste loadings. The resultant glasses were examined both visually and under the scanning electron microscope for the presence of any phase separation. Additional aluminium was added to the glasses manufactured in the absence of reprocessing waste to improve the durability of the glass. In borosilicate glass containing 3.5 wt% Al2O3 the onset of a molybdenum phase separation was observed in glasses containing 2.6 wt% MoO3. In the presence of Magnox reprocessing waste, phase separation was observed when the product contained >3.8 wt% MoO3. Soxhlet durability testing of a selection of the glasses manufactured was carried out. The Soxhlet durability of glasses in the absence of phase separation was good.

Increasing Trend

The issue regarding the negative impact on the human health and environment, as a result of waste storage by using improper methods remains of great actuality, especially with the increasing trend of the generated wastes quantity. The present paper aims to present the most efficient methods that can be used to reduce and prevent environmental risks caused by uncontrolled storage of agricultural waste. Will be treated theoretical aspects related to the actual state of waste management in the E.U. but also in Romania, methods of treating organic waste, as well as prevention measures of environmental risks.
