摘要
The current method for disposing of high-level nuclear waste (HLW) calls for the waste to be incorporated into a borosilicate glass, surrounding the glass by a multibarrier containment system, and placing the waste package underground for repository disposal. Simulated nuclear waste glasses containing varying degrees of stress were subjected to saturated water vapor at 200 degree C. The stressed glass hydrated at a rate proportional to time and at a rate up to 100% faster than the nonstressed glass. The importance to nuclear waste disposal is discussed.
