| Summary: | The vitrification of nuclear waste glasses is presenting unique challenges to glass technologists. On the one hand, the composition of the most important constituent of the glass batch/--/the waste/--/may vary widely. On the other hand, the vitrification process itself must be tightly controlled to ensure product quality, public safety, and process reliability. This has led to several important developments in waste vitrification technology, all aimed at improving process control. These include use of process models, use of artificial intelligence techniques, and improved control and measurement of glass redox. 19 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs. |
