Abstract

CCIM technology allows syntheses of various materials over a wide range of compositions. This provides a means of applying the CCIM to the solidification of wastes obtained by different technologies of the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing, including toxic wastes containing heavy metals and those arising from fractionation. Solid compounds produced by this method meet both the requirements for their subsequent disposal in deep geological formations and spent fuel standards.

On the basis of investigations into the REE and Uranium vitrification, the possibilities of CCIM immobilizing weapons Plutonium in preparation of glass compositions are considered.
