Molten Metal


Overview
Dry active wastes (metal, concrete, etc.) are combined in a ceramic canister and melted by high frequency induction. The melting temperature is about 1500°C. The eventual waste form is a stabilized ingot. (Note this differs from metal melt in that it combines multiple waste forms with at least 10% metal composition, and not just metallic waste.).
