A container having a capacity of at least about 0.05 cm<3>, which comprises a ceramic vessel (6b) having a wall thickness of at least 2.5 cm, wherein the container has been made by a microwave firing process. A containment system is also disclosed for hazardous material or waste which comprises (a) a cylindrical, ellipsoidal or spherical ceramic vessel (6b), having a wall thickness of at least 2.5 cm, optional reinforcing fibers in its walls and; (b) a ceramic lid (6a) having a thickness of at least 2.5 cm, optional reinforcing fibers, said ceramic lid being capable of being seamlessly and nonporously joined to the vessel (7) by microwave energy after the hazardous material or waste is placed in the vessel. An intermediate layer of nuclear shielding material (8) surrounding the first containment system and at least one additional ceramic containment system (12a) surrounding the intermediate layer are also present for nuclear materials or waste. |
