AbstractIn the geologic disposal of nuclear waste glass, the glass will eventually interact with groundwater in the repository system. Interactions can also occur between the glass and other waste package materials that are present. These include the steel canister that holds the glass, the metal overpack over the canister, backfill materials that may be used, and the repository host rock. This review paper systematizes the additional interactions that materials in the waste package will impose on the borosilicate glass waste form-groundwater interactions. The repository geologies reviewed are tuff, salt, basalt, and granite. The interactions emphasized are those appropriate to conditions expected after repository closure, e.g. oxic vs. anoxic conditions. Whenever possible, the effect of radiation from the waste form on the interactions is examined. The interactions are evaluated based on their effect on the release and speciation of various elements including radionuclides from the glass. It is noted when further tests of repository interactions are needed before long-term predictions can be made.

AbstractThe Basalt Waste Isolation Project (BWIP) is conducted for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) by Rockwell Hanford Operations (Rockwell). The BWIP has undertaken an experimental program to test the behavior of defense waste glass under conditions relevant to a repository in basalt. Three autoclave experiments utilizing a nonradioactive simulated waste glass (Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) Type 131/TDS-3A) have been completed. Monolithic discs and crushed glass particles were reacted with crushed basalt and synthetic basalt groundwater for ∼1 yr at temperatures of 90 °C to 150 °C. The crushed qlass proved considerably more reactive than the monoliths at similar temperatures. Raising the temperature from 90 °C to 150 °C produced a striking increase in the extent of glass alteration. At 150 °C, essentially all of the boron and most of the sodium in the glass particles were released. The major reaction products in all three experiments were smectite clay and zeolites. The two tests utilizing crushed glass also yielded analcime. Nickel, cesium, and strontium, important elements in defense waste, were released from the glass in small quantities. The nickel was incorporated into the clay, while the cesium was incorporated into the analcime.
