Measurement of the Specific Resistance of Vitrified Highly-Active Waste

摘要

Measurements of electrical resistivity have been made on the BNFL Sellafield reference glass composition MW in the range 300 to 1150 deg C. The data are described by the equation: Resistivity = Exp (-6.8512 + 3775.5/(T deg C - 180)) (ohm.m). These data would be of relevance to the design or operation of a Joule-heated Ceramic Melter using this or a similar glass composition. (Atomindex citation 16:058703)
