The Department of Energy`s Waste Acceptance Product Specifications (WAPS) require that time-temperature-transformation diagrams be developed for each of the DWPF high-level waste glass compositions. This information will be useful in understanding the crystallization behavior during melter idling, accident scenarios, and storage. Simulated high level waste glass samples were annealed at temperatures varying from 400-1100{degrees}C for times varying from 45 minutes to 32 days. The glasses were characterized by x-ray diffraction to identify and quantify the crystalline phases present. The results were used to construct the diagrams.
