Popis: An attempt was made to increase the solubility of High Level liquid Waste (HLW), mainly Cr and Mo, by addition of P2O5 to sodium borosilicate glass. A total of seven different phosphorus containing alkali borosilicate glass samples were in-house fabricated. As a part of chemical quality control, concentrations of four low Z elements namely Si, Na, B and P were determined by in situ current normalized external (in air) Particle Induced Gamma-ray Emission (PIGE) method using low energy proton beam from Folded Tandem Ion Accelerator (FOTIA), BARC. PIGE method was validated by analyzing synthetic elemental standards and suitable certified reference materials. Phosphorus has shown thermal losses during fabrication.
