Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

Boro-organic reagents suitable for fluxing a solution of liquid high-level wastes in order to immobilize them in borophosphate glass are synthesized by dissolving boric acid and sodium tetraborate in ethylene glycol and glycerin. The properties of the reagents obtained are investigated, borophosphate glasses are synthesized, and it is shown that the vitrification process using them presents no danger of an explosion. A technological scheme for preparing liquid high-level wastes for inclusion in borophosphate glass is proposed.
