Abstract
This paper is a comprehensive review of the state-of-knowledge in the field of radiation effects in glasses that are to be used for the immo bilization of high-level nuclear waste and plutonium disposition. The current status and issues in the area of radiation damage processes, d efect generation, microstructure development, theoretical methods and experimental methods ase reviewed. Questions of fundamental and techno logical interest that offer opportunities for research are identified.
