AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented technical solution involves adding specific ingredients into certain types of glass called Beryllite Glass (BGS). These added components help prevent damage caused during handling processes such as acidic environments used when treating nuclear reactor wastes. By doing so, these materials improve the durability and reliabilty of the resulting glass products while also improving their ability to resist environmental stress cracking. Additionally, they make up an important part of the manufacturing process where molten material comes together at very low temperatures before being poured onto another molded product made of metal without causing any harmful changes like cracks.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to treating high levels of radiation (hyperthermia) generated during reactor shutdown for safety purposes while maintaining their integrity through an improved method called modularization.

Abstract

The invention discloses a beryllium silicate glass. The beryllium silicate glass comprises, by mass, 42-49% of SiO2, 15-20% of BeO, 11-14% of Na2O, 5-10% of Al2O3, 3-6.5% of oxide of at least one transition element, 3-6.5% of at least one rare earth element oxide, 3-6.5% of UO2, and 5-8% of HfO2. The glass has an extremely high stability, an extremely good mechanical strength and an extremely high chemical corrosion resistance to radiation, and can well seal, preserve and isolate a waste liquid under a reduced size condition.
