... zeolite dluring hot isostatic pressing and determining the fate of the salt, which would no longer be as weR isolatedirom the environment. The limited test results presented by ANE showed similar low leach rates for hot isostatically pressed product rich in either zeolite A or sodalite, but extrapolations from such leach tests may not "be applicable to predicting performance of waste packages in geologic repositories." In particular, the ion exchange properties of the zeolite (or sodalite)
