In order to assess the longterm chemical and physical stability of high level waste glasses it is important to know the amounts of crystalline phases present.In principal all information about the crystalline state can be derived from its X-ray powder diffraction pattern,provided the spectral resolution is sufficiently high. Powderdiffraction techniques are the only means available to determine the concentration of crystalline phases in the presence of equivalent amorphous components. In addition it permits the determination of specific crystalline phases in a multicomponent system.

X-ray powder diffraction methods, successful in quantitative determination of silicate minerals in fine-grained rocks, have been applied to the determination of calcite, dolomite, and magnesite in greenschist facies meta-volcanic rocks. Internal standard graphs employing two standards (NaCl and Mo) have been determined.Carbonate mineral modes (calcite and dolomite) for 6 greenschist facies meta-volcanic rocks obtained by the X-ray powder method have been compared to normative carbonate mineral contents calculated for the same rocks. This comparison showed a maximum variation of 7.7 wt.% between the X-ray modes and the normative carbonate mineral contents of the rocks. Maximum standard deviation for the X-ray modes of these rocks was equivalent to 4.4 wt.%.
