Book excerpt: The reference process for disposal of radioactive waste from the Savannah River Plant is vitrification into borosilicate glass. The effects of frit composition and frit particle size, batch chemicals, soluble salts, charcoal, argon atmosphere, and viscosity on the melting process are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Borosilicate glass is being studied as a possible matrix for solidification of Savannah River Plant radioactive waste. Glass compositions, radiation and thermal stabilities, radionuclide volatility, sulfate solubility, and glass dissolution were studied. Up to 40 wt. percent simulated or radioactive wastes have been vitrified at 1150°C.

This book was released on 1988 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Savannah River Plant has been operating a nuclear fuel cycle since the early 1950's. Fuel and target elements are fabricated and irradiated to produce nuclear materials. After removal from the reactors, the fuel elements are processed to extract the products, and waste is stored. During the thirty years of operation including evaporation, about 30 million gallons of high level radioactive waste has accumulated. The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) under construction at Savannah River will process this waste into a borosilicate glass for long-term geologic disposal. The construction of the DWPF is about 70% complete; this paper will describe the status of the project, including design demonstrations, with an emphasis on the melter system. 9 figs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Savannah River Plant a process has been developed for immobilizing high-level radioactive waste in a borosilicate glass. The waste is currently stored as soluble salts and insoluble solids. Insoluble waste as stored requires further processing before vitrification is possible. The processed required have been developed and demonstrated with actual waste. They include removal of aluminum in some waste, washing soluble salts out of the insoluble waste, and mercury stripping. Each of the processes and the results with actual SRP waste will be discussed. The benefits of each step will also be included.

Download or read book Vitrification of High level Radioactive Waste in a Small scale Joule heated Ceramic Melter written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vitrification is the reference process for the immobilization of radioactive waste from the production of defense materials at the Savannah River Plant (SRP). Since 1979, a small vitrification facility (1 lb/h) has been operated at the Savannah River Laboratory using actual SRP waste. In previous studies, dried waste was fed to this smaller melter. This report discusses direct feeding of actual liquid-waste slurries to the small melter. These liquid-feeding tests demonstrated that addition of premelted glass frit to the waste slurry reduces the amount of material volatilized. Results of these tests are in accord with results of large-scale tests with actual waste.

This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A promising method of immobilizing SRP radioactive waste solids is incorporation in borosilicate glass. In the reference vitrification process, called joule-heated melting, a mixture of glass frit and calcined waste is heated by passage of an electric current. Two problems observed in large-scale tests are foaming and formation of an insoluble slag. A small joule-heated melter was designed and built to study problems such as these. This report describes the melter, identifies factors involved in foaming and slag formation, and proposes ways to overcome these problems.
