Abstract

ABSTRACTThe effects of waste composition and percent loading in a borosilicate glass designed for US defense high level wastes (HLW) have been evaluated. Three types of simulated wastes were investigated; high alumina, high iron and a composite representative of an average waste composition from Savannah River Plant (SRP) waste tanks. Corrosion resistance of the borosilicate glass is significantly enhanced by the presence of any of the three types of wastes. Additionally, corrosion resistance is improved as the % waste loading is increased in the glass. The best corrosion performance was obtained with the high alumina waste in deionized water.
