Abstract This study focused on the effect of TiO 2 addition on the crystallines phases’ formation, structure and chemical durability of a nuclear glass ceramic constituted by an aluminosilicate glass in the system: SiO2-Al2O3-CaO-MgO-ZrO2-TiO2 . The materials with four contents of TiO2 , ranging from 4.11 to 7.11 wt.%, are synthesized by a discontinuous method,. For the whole of materials, X-ray diffraction analysis allow identifying an aluminosilicate belonging to pyroxenes silicates family as a main phase, powelite and calzirtite. Both SEM and DTAanalyses confirmed these results. The materials FTIR analysis reveals the glass ceramics complex chemical composition. MCC1 and MCC2 tests, performed on selected glass ceramic materials, indicate that the materials with 4.11 and 5.11 wt.% TiO2 are the most durable against Si, Al, Mg and Ce elements release, in MCC2 test; The results make conclusions valuable on the selection of such glass ceramics as candidate for the disposal of high-level waste.

In Bulgaria, from the preliminary analyses performed for site selection of deep geological disposal of high-level waste (HLW) and spent fuel (SF), it was concluded that the most promising host rocks are the argillaceous sediments of the Sumer Formation (Lower Cretaceous), situated in the Western Fore-Balkan Mts. The present paper aims to compare the transport of three major radionuclides from a hypothetical radioactive waste disposal facility, which incorporates an engineering barrier of bentonite into the argillaceous (marl) medium. The simulations were performed by using HYDRUS-1D computer programme. The results are used for a preliminary estimation of argillaceous sediments as a host rock for geological disposal of HLW.

A plant for the fixation of high-level wastes in borosilicate glass has been operating in France since 1978. A large plant is under construction in the U.S. for the fixation of defence high-level waste and plans for other glass fixation plants are well advanced at several sites around the world. Among the reasons for the selection of borosilicate glass as a fixation medium are the relative ease of processing wastes of variable composition by means of well established technology, and the long-term radiation and thermal stability of the glass. Well formulated glass also has sufficient resistance to the action of groundwater so that it can serve as an important barrier against the spread of radionuclides via groundwater in any forseeable situation. Research is continuing to quantify the reactions of waste glass in site-specific geological repository environments.
