Capabilities


Key Assets   US Track Record

ANSTO, an Australian government national laboratory, has over 25 years experience in the development of low-risk, reduced-cost, titanate-based ceramic and glass-ceramic waste forms.

 

synrocANSTO's unique capabilities position it as a global leader in tailored waste forms. They include:

  • Extensive experience in waste form immobilization design;
  • Integrated process development, and
  • Waste form characterization.

Key Assets

  • 4synrocANSTO suite of waste forms has become internationally recognized as a defacto performance baseline for tailored waste forms

  • World class nuclear waste forms scientific team
  • Extensive and integrated expertise in tailoring the design of ceramic and glass-ceramic waste forms, and complementary process technology, for specific problematic waste streams
  • 25 years continuous experience in developing tailored waste forms from Australian government national lab
  • Lower costs and lower risk alternates through deployment via flexible and proven process technologies
  • Core experienced business and scientific team
  • Track record of partnering with US DOE labs (via PIP, CRADA, …)

US Track Record

  • A titanate ceramic waste form developed by ANSTO, in conjunction with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Savannah River Site, was competitively selected by the US DOE to immobilize excess impure weapons plutonium in 1997;
  • Developed glass-ceramic solutions for INEEL liquid SBW and HLW calcines are projected to save over US$2 billion and cut processing schedules by 7 years compared to borosilicate glass.
