The immobilization of radioiodine produced from reprocessing used nuclear fuel is a
growing priority for research and development of nuclear waste forms. This review provides …

Radioactive waste vitrification has been carried out industrially in several countries for
nearly 40 years. Research into the formulation and long term behavior of high and …

Crystallization in glasses is usually considered to be a problem in the glass industry.
However, controlled crystallization of glasses is an important prerequisite in the …

Materials designed and engineered for technical applications must invariably meet or
exceed multiple key specifications. Even if commercial realization is not intended, scientific …

This paper discusses work to develop Na 2 OB 2 O 3-SiO 2 glass binders for immobilizing
LiCl-KCl eutectic salt waste in a glass-bonded sodalite waste form following electrochemical …

Iodosodalite powders were synthesized using aqueous (70° C) and hydrothermal (180° C)
methods and then hot isostatically pressed (HIP), without or with (10 or 20 mass%) sodium …

This is a review of the thermal and compressional behavior of cancrinite-group minerals with
a description of the mechanisms, at the atomic scale, that govern their PT-induced structure …

Three different solution-based approaches were taken to make sodalite minerals as a host
for a mixed salt simulating the waste in the electrochemical separations process of nuclear …

A series of TeO2–PbO glasses were fabricated with increasing fractions of mixed alkali,
alkaline earth, and lanthanide chlorides. The glass and crystal structure was studied with …

The work presented here is based off the concept that the rare earth chloride (RECl 3)
fission products within the used electrorefiner (ER) salt can be selectively removed as RECl …
