IR and RAMAN Analysis of Water Diffusion in the Surface of Glasses for Nuclear Waste Immobilization

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Alexander Fluegel

Project type

Exploratory Research

It is proposed to analyze VHT (Vapor-Hydration Test) glass sample surface cross-sections using IR and RAMAN spectroscopy for examining water diffusion. The samples represent glasses for nuclear waste…
