High level liquid waste originates from the reprocessing of spent fuel. The high level liquid waste is mixed and melted with borosilicate glass in the melter. During melting, radio-active aerosol is generated from the melter off-gas. Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation is developing a vitrification process. The off-gas treatment system has been improved to reduce the release of radionuclides from the vitrification process to the atmosphere.
