Vitrifying nuclear waste for storage is complicated by aluminum and understanding this behavior is vital. Research suggests that upon radiolysis, the properties of humid aluminum particles do not change substantially but hydrogen is formed.

Low-activity waste from Hanford tank vitrified for first time in a continuous process at PNNL.

PNNL has been honored with three awards for excellence in transferring technologies to private sector by the Federal Laboratory Consortium.
