BASIC MECHANISMS OF AQUEOUS CORROSION OF WASTE GLASSES

Cel

ALTHOUGH A MAJOR RESEARCH EFFORT HAS BEEN UNDERTAKEN DURING THE LASTDECADE ON ACQUEOUS CORROSION OF NUCLEAR GLASSES (1) (2) OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE BASIC CORROSION MECHANISM IS ESSENTIALLY PHENOMENOLOGICAL AND MANY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED. THIS UNDERSTANDING IS INDISPENSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT THE MECHANISMS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT IN CORROSION MODELS CORRESPOND EFFECTIVELY TO THOSE GOVERNING THE LONG TERM RELEASE OF RADIONUCLIDES.
THE EXPERIMENTS PROPOSED HERE ARE PARAMETER STUDIES OF SIMPLE GLASSWATER SYSTEMS DESIGNED TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTS OF SATURATION, LEACHING UNDER HYDROGHERMAL CONIDITONS, CORROSION AT THE INTERFACE LAYER, AND THE BEHAVIOUR OF TECHNETIUM AND ACTINIDES.
R7T7 glass solubility was investigated in experiments with monolithic and powdered glass specimens at high surface area to volume ratios. A silicon concentration limit was obtained at 90 C, and pH related variations in this limit were determined. Very low corrosion rates were obtained under saturation conditions (from a few thousandths to a few 10 thousandths of the initial rate). The observed rates were not constant, however, but diminished as the surface area to volume ratio increased. It is, therefore, impossible to define a constant residual corrosion rate as an inherent glass property, or to specify an activation energy. Experiments at higher temperatures (150 and 250 C) also resulted in a constant corrosion rate under near saturation conditions, but this residual rate was a few per cent of the initial rate, indicating that the dissolution reaction affinity was relatively high at these temperatures. Investigation of the radionuclide containment properties in Volvic water confirmed that under oxidising conditions neptunium and technetium are leached at virtually the same rate as the glass matrix, while plutonium and americium mostly remain trapped in the gel layer that develops at the glass surface. Moreover, the leached plutonium is flocculated and quickly fixed in particle form after a few weeks.

R7T7 glass solubility was investigated in experiments with monolithic and powdered glass specimens at high surface area to volume ratios. A silicon concentration limit was obtained at 90 C, and pH related variations in this limit were determined. Very low corrosion rates were obtained under saturation conditions: from a few thousandths to a few ten thousandths of the initial rate. The observed rates were not constant, however, but diminished as the surface area to volume ratio increased. It is therefore impossible to define a constant residual corrosion rate as an inherent glass property, and even less to specify an activation energy.

Experiments at higher temperatures (150 and 250 C) also resulted in a constant corrosion rate under near saturation conditions, but this residual rate was a few percent of the initial rate, indicating that the dissolution reaction affinity was relatively high at these temperatures.

Investigation of the radionuclide containment properties in Volvic water confirmed that under oxidising conditions neptunium and technetium are leached at virtually the same rate as the glass matrix, while plutonium and americium remain for the largest part trapped in the gel layer that develops at the glass surface. Moreover, the leached plutonium is flocculated and quickly fixed in particle form after a few weeks.
