Abstract
In order to examine and compare the characteristics of two vitrified forms (AG8W1 and DG2) simulated for the operation of a commercial vitrification facility being constructed in Ulchin nuclear power plant, the vitrified forms were cooled by the natural cooling and annealing methods respectively. And the Product Consistency Test (PCT), compressive strength, thermal conductivity, specific heat, phase stability, softening point and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of the vitrified farms were experimented. Consequently, it was shown that there were no significant differences on the physiochemical properties of the vitrified forms performed the natural cooling and annealing.
