La (III) and Gd (III) are considered as potential surrogates for Pu (III) in waste glass. Gd is also a neutron absorber. The peraluminous and peralkaline effects on Gd2O3 and La2O3 solubilities in a sodium-alumino-borosilicate glass system are presented. Baseline glasses used in this study have the following mole compositions: 60SiO2.15B2O3.xNa2O.(25-x) Al2O3, where x varies from 0 to 25.
