ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed is a process for containing a solution of nuclear waste, where the nuclear waste is at least 10% sodium or nitrate. A composition is prepared in an alco- hol of about 1 to about 99% of a silicon alkoxide and about 1 to about 99% of a boron alkoxide. The pH of the nuclear waste solution is adjusted to about 4 to 6 and the pH of ihe composition is adjusted to match. The composition is dried to about 50 to about 75% of its original volume and is mixed with up to about 30$ of the solution of nuclear waste, thereby forming a gel. The mixture is dried and heated at up to about 500°C. Fin- ally, it is consolidated either by warm pressing at about 400 to about 800°C at about 40,000 to about 100,000 psi, or by melting at about 700 to about 1150°C.
