Nuclear glass;
Borosilicate glass formulated to contain fission products and minor actinides resulting from the processing of spent nuclear fuel.
Weathering;
A physicochemical process by which glass transforms through interaction with water into weathering products: hydrated glass, gel, secondary phases, and aqueous species.
Alteration layer or film;
A solid, hydrated material resulting from the weathering of glass, located between the intact glass and the solution, and generally consisting of hydrated glass, gel, and secondary phases.
