Abstract

Long term tests of vitrified intermediate level waste from nuclear power plants were performed in a shallow ground repository as well as on an open testing area. Borosilicate glasses were tested. Radionuclide leaching differs significantly in natural conditions in contrast to laboratory behaviour. Average leaching factors were obtained for open area tests as well as for repository tests. These factors should be used for long term predictions since they take into account the real character of leaching.
