Abstract

The diffusion of Te and Pd was measured in the German waste glass VG 98/012 usingion implantation to introduce these elements, and the Rutherford backscattering (RBS) method to measure their diffusion. Both elements tend to precipitate during manufacture ofnuclear waste glasses, and the Te-content of the precipitates depends on the annealing time. Diffusion of these elements is a basic property of the separation phenomenon. Diffusion of both elements was found to be very slow. Te-diffusion coefficients were in the range of 10-17 to 10-15 cm2s-1 between 540 and 590 αC. Surface evaporation of Te was observed at all heat treatments. Pd diffusion was not observed in this study, most likely due to limited solubility of Pd and formation of metal precipitates.
