The environmental impacts of borosilicate glass and crystalline ceramic waste form are similar with the more developed borosilicate glass technology being relatively less complex and less expensive to implement at this time. The selection of borosilicate glass for the West Valley Demonstration Project is consistent with applicable draft federal standards and regulations and draft DOE acceptance criteria relating to high-level waste disposal in a geologic repository. 20 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
