INL HLW calcines
The ~4400 m3 of calcined reprocessed waste consists of waste components that are problematic to incorporation in glass, which significantly restricts vitrification waste loadings. Tailored glass-ceramic waste forms over come these limitations and offer:
• 80+% waste loading
• $5 billion dollar repository cost savings compared to glass
• 35% volume reduction compared to as stored calcine
• Chemical durability 100x better than EA glass
• Achieved with a flexible mature industrial process
• No high-temperature off-gas
