From page 6...
... In the batch process, zeolite powder is fed to step 1, and the resulting dehydrated powder proceeds directly to step 6 for hot blending with salt containing fission product elements and glass frit.

From page 7...
... ANL is studying a range of methodologies for establishing waste form performance, including both short-term product quality control tests and long-term accelerated reaction tests.~' At this preliminary stage, test and analysis protocols previously developed for other waste forms are being used. The appropriateness of these protocols for testing these specific mineral and metal waste forms for geologic disposal remains to be evaluated.
