System and method for radioactive waste vitrification

A radioactive waste vitrification system comprises a plasma mass filter (10), heater and disposable crucibles. The filter separates low-mass particles from high-mass particles. The high-mass particles are fused with a frit in the crucibles by induction heating to form a melted mixture which is then...

Zusammenfassung:	A radioactive waste vitrification system comprises a plasma mass filter (10), heater and disposable crucibles. The filter separates low-mass particles from high-mass particles. The high-mass particles are fused with a frit in the crucibles by induction heating to form a melted mixture which is then cooled to form vitrified waste having high waste loading.
