ULTIMATE FISSION PRODUCT DISPOSAL THE DISPOSAL OF CURIE QUANTITIES OF FISSION PRODUCTS IN SILICEOUS MATERIALS

摘要

Several proposed methods of permanent disposal are discussed. The fusion of fission products with siliceous materials is one method which might satisfy disposal requirements.nOf the siliceous materials investigated anopheline senate approaches closely the requirements of an ideal glass forming silicate. This silicate can be mixed directly with HNO3 ~ fission products wastes to form a solid gel. The gel on drying and heating to about 1225°C forms a glass containing the fission products the only isotope which is volatile to any extent is ruthenium.
