ABSTRACTThe distribution of glass constituents within the hydrated layer is investigated through a mathematical representation of the fundamental processes that influence mass transport. A brief description of the models that are developed is presented. The resulting equations are implemented in a computer code named GELOH. The importance of the processes of network hydration and layer growth, alteration product formation, and dissolution is studied through the use of GELOH. The results of these studies are presented and interpreted in the light of the experimental evidence available on the aqueous corrosion of nuclear waste glass.

ABSTRACTThe radiation damage of a nuclear waste glass is shown to be associated with enhanced phase decomposition, oxygen bubble formation, and, when the glass is exposed to air saturated water, enhanced leaching.

ABSTRACTThe R7T7 and synthetic basaltic glasses were submitted to corrosion in a saline MgCl2dominated solution at 190°C. For both glasses, the early alteration product is a hydrotalcite-like compound in which HPO42-, SO4-2and Cl-substitutes to CO32. The measured d003spacing is 7.68 Å for the hydrotalcite formed from R7T7 glass and 7.62 Å for the hydrotalcite formed from basaltic glass which reflect the high aluminium content. Chemical microanalyses show that the hydrotalcite is subsequently covered by a silica-rich gel which evolves into saponite after few months.
