Eric(Lou)万斯博士在澳大利亚核科学与技术组织(ANSTO)工作了32年,致力于开发Synroc技术,这是一种针对难处理核废料的废物处理解决方案。Synroc的原始形式是一种基于稳定和抗浸出的钛酸盐矿物的多相陶瓷废物,由澳大利亚科学家在20世纪70年代末发明。该配方旨在固定来自核燃料后处理的PUREX废物。ANSTO的Synroc在万斯博士的科学领导下,从最初的钛酸盐陶瓷发展成为废物处理技术平台。该平台可用于生产玻璃、玻璃陶瓷和陶瓷废物,在废物装载和抑制挥发损失方面具有明显优势。因此,该平台提供了一个机会来处理那些对于单独的玻璃基质或现有的玻璃化工艺技术来说是有问题的废物流。此类废物包括,例如,含锕系元素的废物、含有大比例耐火元素的废物、具有显著裂变产物或腐蚀性挥发性排放物的废物以及由放射性药物生产产生的废物。后者的实施将通过目前正在ANSTO建设的首个同类Synroc废物处理设施实现Synroc技术的工业化。本文将回顾Synroc技术,特别注意到已故博士万斯的实质性和重要的贡献。审查还将提供一些关于核废物固定化技术发展的观点,并描述ANSTO最近取得的重大进展。
Dr Eric (Lou) Vance spent 32 years at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), where he was dedicated to the development of Synroc technology, a waste treatment solution for intractable nuclear wastes. The original form of Synroc, a multiphase ceramic wasteform based on stable and leach resistant titanate minerals, was invented by Australian scientists in the late 1970s. This formulation was directed toward the immobilization of PUREX wastes from the reprocessing of nuclear fuels. Synroc at ANSTO under the scientific leadership of Dr Vance since evolved beyond these original titanate ceramics into a waste treatment technology platform. This platform can be applied to produce glass, glass‐ceramic and ceramic wasteforms and offers distinct advantages in terms of waste loading and suppressing volatile losses. The platform therefore provides an opportunity to treat those waste streams that are problematic for glass matrices alone or existing vitrification process technologies. Such wastes include, for example, actinide‐bearing wastes, those that contain large proportions of refractory elements, those with significant fission product or corrosive volatile emissions and those wastes resulting from radiopharmaceutical production. The implementation of the latter will see the industrialization of Synroc technologyviaa first‐of‐a‐kind Synroc Waste Treatment Facility that is currently under construction at ANSTO. This paper will review Synroc technology, particularly noting the substantial and essential contributions from the late Dr Vance. The review will also provide some perspective on the development of the technology for nuclear waste immobilization and describe the significant recent advancements at ANSTO.
