Title: Distribution of elemental species of crystallized Hanford high\u2010level nuclear waste glass Description: Vitrification of Hanford high\u2010level nuclear waste glasses requires careful balancing of the composition. High additions of nuclear waste tend to lead to the formation of crystals that lower the corrosion resistance and can lead to leaching of radioactive components. Low additions increase the time required to vitrify the over 55 million gallons of nuclear waste present at the Hanford site. Presented here is a nuclear waste glass that has crystallized upon cooling. The inset images show the distribution of different components in this sample. Of particular interest is boron which is very difficult to measure with most laboratory techniques and is a major component of Hanford waste glasses. This image is the first to demonstrate that boron does not enter the crystalline structure in a significant amount. The atomic concentration scales from cold (blue) to hot (red).<\/p>\n

Winner for “Artistic Image”<\/p>\n

Title: the elegance of crystallographic texture.
\nDescription: this image is and electron back scatter diffraction image of an inconel superalloy. The colors represent
\ndifferent crystallographic orientations that distinguish neighboring grains that comprise the alloy and accent the beauty
\nof the world of engineering. The aim of this material is to improve both ductility and fatigue strength by increasing the
\nnumber of striations within the grains (known as annealing twins).<\/p>\n
