Paper
Vitreous materials in form of both relatively homogeneous glasses and glass crystalline materials (GCM) incorporating crystalline disperse phases are currently the most reliable wasteforms effectively used on industrial scale for nuclear waste immobilisation. Glasses are solid state materials with a topologically disordered atomic structure which can be considered as true solid solutions i.e.,...
