Ly. Li et al., IMMOBILIZATION OF SODIUM-BEARING HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE-WASTE IN SYNROC CONTAINING (NA0.5ND0.5)TIO3-TYPE PEROVSKITE, Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 80(1), 1997, pp. 250-252
This study on the immobilization of high-sodium-bearing HLW in synroc
indicates that (Na0.5Nd0.5)TiO3-type perovskite can be used to incorpo
rate a high content of sodium in synroc. Synroc samples containing 13.
0 wt% waste oxide and 5.7 wt% Na2O show very well chemical durability
and physical properties. The standard Synroc-C formulation can incorpo
rate only 2 wt% Na2O, so this study greatly improved the immobilizatio
n ability of sodium in Synroc-related material.
