Abstract

The feasibility of employing a powder metallurgy approach to produce a single, metal-matrix composite waste form rather than two separate forms consisting of a cast metal alloy ingot (such as Type 316SS+Zr) and a ceramic glass-bonded zeolite Na12(AlO2)12(SiO2)12 has been investigated. This powder metallurgy approach consists of mixing the powder of the two separate waste forms together followed by compaction by hot isostatic pressing. Such a radioactive waste form would have the potential advantages of reducing the total waste volume, good thermal conductivity, stability, and surfaces with limited oxide layer formation.
