GLAMOR is a Concerted Action that has been defined as a complement of the various R&D projects on the long-term durability of vitrified high-level waste. It brings together a team of experts, to try to achieve a common understanding on the processes that control the decrease in glass dissolution rate when silica saturation of the solution has occurred. This paper reviews the approach adopted in the project. The literature data on long-term glass dissolution were reviewed, and models and experimental datasets were selected by the team. The first results of the joint application of the models to the data are briefly discussed. The project will be finished late 2004.
