The Glenn Research Center is a NASA center, located in Cleveland, Ohio between Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and the Rocky River Reservation(Part of the Cleveland Metroparks). Glenn is a NASA research center, whose primary mission is to develop science and technology for use in aeronautics and space. It was established in 1942 as part of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics(NACA) and was later incorporated into the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) as a laboratory for aircraft engine research. It was initially named the Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory after funding approval was given in June 1940. It was renamed the Flight Propulsion Research Laboratory in 1947, the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory in 1948 and the NASA Lewis Research Center in 1958. On march 1, 1999, the Lewis Research Center was officially renamed the NASA John H. Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field after John Glenn(American fighter pilot, astronaut and politician) and George W. Lewis(head of NASA from 1919 to 1947).

  • Waste Management
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
  • Industrial Ceramics
CONT

... research at the Rockwell International Science Center has focused on developing a generic technology for the consolidation of high-level wastes into polyphase ceramics. The basic approach has been to tailor waste compositions with chemical additives so that upon consolidation a dense ceramic assemblage is formed that chemically binds the waste species into known phases.

CONT

Research trends in the USSR for the incorporation of highly radioactive wastes into glass and ceramics have been presented ...: phosphate and borosilicate glasses, composites such as glass-like materials embedded in metal matrices and glasses containing crystalline host phases for radionuclides are under investigation.

OBS

TiO2 - A ceramic matrix. ... the encapsulation of waste particles in a nonradioactive matrix has been used in a number of processes (e.g. Vitromet, glass in a lead matrix). However, in most cases metals were used as matrix materials because of their low melting points in comparison to ceramics.
