Popis:	Standardized comparative drop weight impact tests were conducted on solid alternative waste forms under consideration for immobilizing Savannah River Laboratory (SRL) defense wastes. The fragment size distributions were measured in the size ranges of ֮5 to 8000 μm. All waste form fragment size distributions could be described accurately by lognormal plots. Respirable sizes (≤10 μm) were measured. Borosilicate glass and SYNROC specimens yielded the same mass fractions of respirable sizes; FUETAP concrete, high silica and alkoxide glass specimens yielded ֮2–3 times more mass fractions of particles of respirable sizes, whereas tailored (Spinel) ceramic specimens yielded the smallest mass fractions of respirable sizes, ֮2–1/2 times less.
