synrocANSTO

Case Studies


The following three case studies highlight the benefits that synrocANSTO waste forms bring to three problematic waste streams:

INEEL SBW & HLW Calcines

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

Plutonium and Actinide Wastes

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. 

Case Study Details

Niche waste streams 

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