Results are presented which show that lead-iron phosphate glasses are a promising new waste form for the safe immobilization of both high-level defense and high-level commercial radioactive waste. Relative to the borosilicate nuclear waste glasses that are currently the "reference" waste form for the long-term disposal of nuclear waste, lead-iron phosphate glasses have several distinct advantages: (i) an aqueous corrosion rate that is about 1000 times lower, (ii) a processing temperature that is 100 degrees to 250 degrees C lower, and (iii) a much lower melt viscosity in the temperature range from 800 degrees to 1000 degrees C. Most significantly, the lead-iron phosphate waste form can be processed using a technology similar to that developed for borosilicate nuclear waste glasses.
结果表明，铅铁磷酸盐玻璃是一种有前途的新型废物形式，可用于安全地固定高放防御性和高放商业放射性废物。与目前用于核废料长期处置的“参考”废物形式——硼硅酸盐核废料玻璃相比，铅铁磷酸盐玻璃具有几个明显的优势：(i)水浸腐蚀性约低 1000 倍，(ii)加工温度低 100 至 250°C，(iii)在 800 至 1000°C 的温度范围内熔体粘度低得多。最重要的是，铅铁磷酸盐废物形式可以使用类似于硼硅酸盐核废料玻璃开发的技术进行处理。
