DESCRIPTION:The immobilisation of high level waste from nuclear fuel repro
 cessing by vitrification in borosilicates is a well-established technology
 \, however there are a variety of legacy wastes at sites such as Sellafiel
 d that cannot be immobilised in  the existing glass compositions. In addit
 ion vitrification is being increasingly looked at for the vitrification of
  toxic and hazardous wastes. I will review some of our work in this area a
 nd will draw out lessons both for the vitrification of “difficult” ele
 ments and for the wider application of waste vitrification.
