Abstract

Using iron boron phosphate glass to immobilize simulated α-HLLW has been studied. The results showed that sintering at a temperature of 930 °C, heating for 2 h, monazite-type crystal was detected only by XRD apparatus in the solidification. The samples containing different contents of simulated α-HLLW were measured by product consistency test (PCT) and showed the maximum pack capacity of up to 25% with a good chemical durability, and the normalized elemental mass release of Fe, P, and Ce is 28.10 × 10−4g•m−2•d−1, 56.61 × 10−4g•m−2•d−1, and 0.95 × 10−4g•m−2•d−1, respectively.
