The article discusses how borosilicate glasses are used to store high-level radioactive waste at the Mayak PA plant. The researchers studied different glass compositions and found the temperatures needed for melting and pouring them easily. They also determined how well these glasses resist chemical reactions, which is important for safely containing the waste.
