... He summarized FY 1996 R&D activities in this area, particularly in design and testing waste forms, plutonium loading on zeolite, lithium reduction of PuO2, processing of plutonium-Ioaded zeolite, and current status of the R&D effort. James Laidler reported on the status of the Spent Fuel Program, including the development of a flow sheet for treatment of foreign research reactor fuels.

... Other analyses that will be used to evaluate waste forms include determination of radiation and thermal stability and structural characterization by x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy. John Ackerman described hot pressing techniques for waste form preparation and progress in waste form development.
