E. R. Vance coauthored research on the crystal chemistry and phase control of Synroc. The scientific problem is to distribute waste elements among stable ceramic phases with suitable crystal sites.
Changing the overall composition can change which phases form and which ions each phase incorporates. This links phase equilibrium and crystal structure to the chemical durability of a waste form.[ref]
