Abstract

In the middle of 80-s the Moscow SIA “Radon” initiates a program on long term tests of vitrified intermediate level radioactive waste from nuclear power plants with different types'of reactors and with different composition of waste. Glass blocks were prepared and disposed for tests in experimental shallow ground repository and on open testing area. Borosilicate glass as matrix material is investigated in order to obtain data on real behaviour of glass [1]. The waste glass was poured in carbon steel rectangular containers therefore containers also were subjected to aqueous and atmospheric corrosion. Exposure conditions at testing site are varying depending on season. They can be described only as average parameters with some uncertainties.
