TL;DR: Disclosed as discussed by the authors is a method of immobilizing nuclear waste in glass, which is prepared of 60 to 100% of a hydrolyzed glass-forming silicon compound and up to about 40% of an aluminum compound and is heated at about 200° to about 500° C. to drive off water and organics.

TL;DR: Disclosed as mentioned in this paper is a method of immobilizing nuclear waste in glass, where a composition is prepared of 60 to 100% of a hydrolyzed glass-forming silicon compound and up to about 40% of an aluminum compound, which is then sintered at about 800 to about 900°C to reduce porosity.

TL;DR: In this article, a process for making a cinder aggregate from neutralized PUREX waste is described, where a colloid of such de-alcoholated alkoxides of silicon, boron, and aluminum are added to the PureX waste as are necessary to produce a mixture containing about 0.0001 to about 1 percent aluminum hydroxide, about 5 to about 15 percent silica, and about 1 to about 3 percent boric oxide.

TL;DR: Disclosed is a method of making a pellet from a powder by placing the powder in a heatshrinkable container, sealing the container and isostatically pressing the container at a temperature which causes it to shrink, followed by decomposition of the container, and sintering of the powder.
