Abstract

The effects on the leachability of SRL 131 glass as a result of slight changes in the glass composition were monitored by leachate and surface analyses. The compositional changes had marked effects on solution and layer composition and on the precipitated alteration products that formed after 546 days of static leaching. The leaching behavior of long-lived actinide elements were measured, with Pu and Am showing little tendency to become solubilized and Np and U continuously accumulating in solution.
