Abstract

The ion exchange phase of corrosion of nuclear waste glasses was modelled using Doremus' theory of interdiffusion and numerically analysed for British Magnox waste and Russian K-26 glasses. It is shown that even in non-silica -saturated conditions the ion exchange phase plays a significant role in the overall radionuclide release inventory particularly for short-lived radionuclides.
