Abstract

The current status of radiation effects in solid nuclear waste forms is reviewed. The general nature of radiation effects and the simulation techniques used are briefly discussed. Recently reported data on radiation effects are presented and discussed, and those areas requiring further theoretical or experimental study are identified.
