Matrices


Tailored high-performance tailored disposal matrices (waste forms) available for high-level radioactive waste include:

  • Ceramics
  • Glass-ceramics

Complementary process and consolidation technologies that can be used with synroc ANSTO ’s waste forms include:

  • Sintering
  • Hot-isostatic pressing (HIP)
  • Cold-crucible induction melting (CCIM)

The crystalline phases that lock up radioactive waste in synroc ANSTO ’s waste forms are extremely durable mineral analog phases that have demonstrated their survival over geological timeframes. synroc ANSTO ’s waste forms are particularly applicable for problematic wastes that are difficult to incorporate in glass.
