National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Frit Development for Sludge Batch 3.

DE2004808877

Publication Date	2002
Personal Author	Peeler, D. K.; Edwards, T. B.
Page Count	287
Abstract	Approximately 130M L of sludge/supernate high-level radioactive waste is currently stored in underground carbon steel tanks at the Savannah River Site in Aiken, South Carolina. The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) began immobilizing these wastes in borosilicate glass in 1996. Currently, the radioactive glass is being produced as a sludge-only composition by combining washed high-level sludge with glass frit and melting. The glass is poured into stainless steel canisters that will eventually be disposed of in a permanent geological repository. The focus of this report is on frit development activities conducted solely on the basis of predictions generated by DWPF's PCCS glass property-composition models.
