A small electric melter was developed to implement studies for converting radioactive waste to glass at the Savannah River Laboratory (SRL). The ceramic-lined, joule-heated melter has been in operation for ten months. During this period, simulated, high-level-waste, calcined materials and frit were processed at rates of 2 to 15 g/min. The melt chamber is 7.6-cm wide, 22.9-cm long and 7.6-cm deep. The total power consumption is 3.5 KVA when the glass processing temperature is 1150°C. A similar unit will be in operation in FY-1979 in the SRL high-level cells.
