Vitrified waste (CSD-V) Overview of the study • Understanding the effects of ionizing radiations (here e-) on structural changes of nuclear waste glasses, in order to predict the modification of the glass during storage. • Simulation of the dose (auto) irradiation accumulated during storage by external electron irradiations: Van de Graaff accelarator,1.8 MeV, 20 A beam, ~ 1GGy dose. • Use of simplified borosilicate glasses (mol.%) 63.47 SiO2- 16.8 B2O3 – 4.04 Al2O3 – 2.35 ZrO2 – 13.34 A2O A2O = 1) x Na2O - (1-x) Li2O 2) x Na2O - (1-x) K2O Actinet Workshop, September 23th, 2005
(Microscopic) Structural changes induced by irradiations • Increase of glass polymerization : Si(Q2)Si(Q3) • Increase of boron in trigonal environments : BO4 BO3 • Formation of molecular oxygen • Production of paramagnetic defects B. Boizot et al., NIM B 166-167, (2000) 500 N. Ollier et al., JNCS 323, (2003) 200. Most of the structural changes are assigned to the migration of alkali Segregation of alkali under irradiation ? These changes are less important in complex glass composition (close to the French Nuclear glass SON68) than simple ones : this could be explained by the decrease of the alkaline ions mobility The Mixed Alkali Effect (decreases considerably the alkali motion ) / irradiations Actinet Workshop, September 23th, 2005
