Abstract

The ion implantation-based simulation of α-recoil aging in radwaste glasses has been applied to several simulated HLW glasses. The results are qualitatively described by a new model of leaching for the implanted glasses although several specific features of irradiated surfaces are not clearly understood. This model suggests that for the most likely case of diffusion-controlled corrosion, where the reaction scheme involves several steps (hydration, dissolution of hydrated silica gel, etc…), the kinetics-controlling one would not necessarily be radiation sensitive. Indeed for these more representative glasses, no evidence for a drastic increase in the dissolution rate of the silica gel, induced by ion implantation has been so far detected, whereas the hydration rate seems in some cases more significantly enhanced. However the implications of these observations for the durability of the glasses remain to be assessed.
