Abstract

A set of preliminary glass property models and constraints were developed and augmented by models from literature for use in design of direct-feed high-level waste (DFHLW) glasses for flowsheet evaluation, testing, and design of the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) high-level waste (HLW) Facility. These models and constraints are meant to be used as a place-holder while glass property-composition data gaps are filled and final plant operating models are developed. This report describes the motivation and intended use of the models, the compilation of data, model fitting and selection, methods to apply the models and constraints in glass design and offers example calculations demonstrating their intended use.
