ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for encapsulating or embedding highly radioactive waste in glass within an ultimate storage container in which molten glass is transferred from a melting furnace to the container by means of suction. The container is evacuated, and a sealed suction tube connecting to the container is immersed in the molten glass containing the waste, whereupon the seal is broken and the molten glass flows under the force of atmospheric pressure into the container. The operation may be carried out by remote controls.
