REPORT


laboratory-scale column tests [4]. The waste form development and testing are being done in parallel with the column and batch ion exchange tests [7, 8, 9].

EXPERIMENT The batch ion exchange experiments were conducted by immersing zeolite beads in a large excess of a salt containing non-radioactive fission product species that will remain in the salt after treatment of spent fuel from Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBRII). The zeolite was supplied by UOP Inc. in the sodium form as 8x 12 mesh beads containing 7 to 12% clay binder and also as a fine (
