The following
three case studies highlight the benefits that synrocANSTO
waste forms bring to three problematic waste streams:
A joint
INEEL-ANSTO white paper determined that the use of synrocANSTO
glass-ceramic waste forms for SBW and HLW calcines offers
50% cost savings (over $2 billion) and a 7 year reduction
in processing schedules over a baseline of borosilicate
glass.
Case
Study Details
Actinide-rich
waste streams offer unique immobilization challenges. They
typically have very long half-lives, may be fissile and
requiring criticality control measures, and depending on
their source can either be very pure or very impure.

Niche
waste streams
Waste streams
containing technetium, cesium and strontium pose unique
challenges to radioactive waste management.
