Extract

Ion implantation into simulated nuclear waste glasses is a rapid means of producing near-surface energy deposition similar to that produced by α-recoil nuclei after long storage times (typically 103 – 106 years). For example, Dran, Maurette, and Petit1 used 200 keV Pb-ion implantations in glass at a fluence of 5 × 1012/cm2 to produce surface damage. This fluence is equivalent to approximately 2 × 1018 alpha-decays/cm3 which corresponds to approximately 106 years storage for glass containing Savannah River Plant (SRP) defense high-level waste (DHLW). These authors1 found that this fluence value corresponded to a critical fluence (Φc) for enhanced etching (a factor of 20 increase as inferred by step-height changes) for several silicate glasses when etched in a NaCl solution at 100°C. This critical fluence value also corresponds very well with the fluence at which significant overlap of individual ion tracks occurs.
