This paper summarizes the vast body of literature (over 200 documents) related to
vitrification of the low-activity waste (LAW) fraction of the Hanford tank wastes. Details are …

Standard methods to assess the durability of vitrified radioactive waste were first developed
in the 1980's and, over the last 40 years, have evolved to yield a range of responses …

High-level radioactive waste is accumulating at temporary storage locations around the
world and will eventually be placed in deep geological repositories. The waste forms and …

Abstract Machine learning (ML) regression methods are promising tools to develop models
predicting the properties of materials by learning from existing databases. However …

Current kinetic models for nuclear waste glasses (eg GM2001, GRAAL) are based on a set
of mechanisms that have been generally agreed upon within the international waste glass …

Aqueous dissolution rate measurements of nuclear glasses are a key step in the long-term
behavior study of such waste forms. These rates are routinely normalized to the glass …

Nuclear waste has been generated from commercial nuclear reactors and from past nuclear
weapons production activities. The safe disposal of this waste generally is planned to …

Nuclear waste glasses dissolve at the forward dissolution rate (rf) in very dilute aqueous
solutions, which can isolate the impact of the glass composition from solution feedback and …

Understanding the underlying reaction mechanisms responsible for aluminosilicate glass
dissolution in aqueous environments is crucial for designing glasses for technological …

The current baseline for the conditioning of most UK intermediate-level radioactive waste
(ILW) is immobilisation using cement. However, vitrification of some UK ILW is being …
