Investigation on boron and iodine behavior during nuclear glass vapor hydration
Abstract Understanding the durability of nuclear glass in the vapor phase is essential for evaluating the long-term safety of the nuclear glass. This work studies the vapor hydration of borosilicate and iodine-bearing glass at 90 °C and relative humidity at 99%. Hydration kinetics was monitored by a...
