The article compares borosilicate glass and Synroc-D ceramic for storing Savannah River Plant waste. Both materials have strengths and weaknesses, with no clear winner. Borosilicate glass is better in some areas, while Synroc-D excels in others. Both could work for the waste. The researchers suggest ways to improve both materials.
