Abstract
- Abstract For long life nuclear wastes (essentially actinides) research is in progress to propose new matrices with an improvement of the chemical durability. High silica content glasses present high chemical durability, and we describe a process to prepare silica glass embedding the nuclear waste. Porous silica (gel) is used as a host matrix for nuclear waste. Neodymium oxide and cerium oxide are used to simulate the actinide oxides. The gel is soaked in a solution containing the simulant in nitrate salt form.
