Summary

For permanent disposal of the large quantities of mildly contaminated waste liquid metals (primarily sodium) used as coolants in nuclear reactors, and currently stored at different DOE sites, it is necessary to convert the metal to a stable and environmentally acceptable disposable form at minimum cost. Work on air oxidation of sodium done by Mine Safety and Appliances, Inc. (MSA) in 1980 showed the feasibility of converting the metal to its oxides. This study investigates the development of an integrated sodium burn-glass formation process to convert waste sodium to a disposable glass form.
