New glass control method revolutionizes waste disposal for a cleaner future!
The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) is creating a special glass to safely store nuclear waste. They are focusing on controlling the glass composition to ensure it meets specific properties like viscosity and durability. By studying how different waste materials affect the glass, they are developing ways to adjust the process to make the best glass possible. This includes creating specific mixing formulas and setting limits on certain steps.
