Microwave Energy for Post-Calcination Treatment of High-Level Nuclear Wastes

Heating by microwave energy is explored in processing of two nuclear waste forms: 1)drying of a pelleted form and 2)vitrification. It is shown that residence time can be greatly reduced compared to conventional heating sources, without affecting product quality.
