What is vitrification? Vitrification is accomplished by mixing waste from underground tanks with glass-forming materials in high-temperature melters.

And can be what? I wanna know.
Dangerous. OP was trying it when writing the post. RIP.
FTA: Disposed of permanently and safely.
Vitrification is accomplished by mixing waste from Hanford's underground tanks with glass-forming materials in high-temperature melters. As the materials are heated to 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit, the waste is incorporated into the molten glass. This “liquid glass” is poured into stainless steel canisters to cool.
Once cooled, the now-solid vitrified waste within the canisters can be disposed of permanently and safely. The most hazardous waste will be buried in a national repository. Less dangerous wastes will be disposed of at the Integrated Disposal Facility on the Hanford Site.
This little secret can help you to deal with nuclear waste. You just need to….
MAYNARD: He must have died while carving it.
LANCELOT: Oh, come on!
MAYNARD: Well, that's what it says.
ARTHUR: Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to carve 'aarrggh'. He'd just say it!
MAYNARD: Well, that's what's carved in the rock!
GALAHAD: Perhaps he was dictating.

Yes, L4s is also filling out publicfreakout with Reddit crossposts.
I think generally it should be good etiquette to caveat when posts are generated by a bit of AI generated.
Are these the cool glow in the dark glasses that you can drink from?
I think you mean uranium glass. It fluoresces bright green under UV light, very cool -- but the uranium is added on purpose, for coloration
