Since the year 2000, Synroc has evolved from the titanate full-ceramics developed in the late 1970s to a technology platform that can be applied to produce glass, glass–ceramic, and ceramic waste forms and where there are distinct advantages in terms of waste loading and suppressing volatile losses. Recent efforts have focused strongly on waste form development for plutonium-bearing wastes in...

At the previous international conference HIP ‘14 it was suggested that the HIP method for the fabrication of the radial plate segment, which is the structure for supporting the toroidal magnetic field coil of ITER, be used.
The purpose of this suggestion was to improve the material yield and reduce the time spent on the machining process.
In order to verify that a uniform HIP effect for a...

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a method to consolidate dry metal and ceramic powders by increasing the temperature up to the sintering threshold and applying high pressure, typically 15-30 ksi in an inert Argon atmosphere.
This work presents the results performed together with Quintus Technologies and Department of Energy’s Idaho Site contractors to significantly reduce the volume of dry...

Silver impregnated materials are widely used as an absorbent of radioactive iodine in the nuclear industry. A commercial fuel reprocessing facility of Japan will be working in shortly. The waste management for the spent alumina sorbent (AgA) to be disposed in deep underground is a challenge because iodine-129 has the extreme long-life and a mobile nature in aquifer systems. For the safety...
