The safe and efficient treatment of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) has been one of the key factors which restrict the development of nuclear industry. As an efficient, simple and low energy consumption method of matrix synthesis, SHS technology has became the current hot spots in the field of HLW disposal. In this paper, the principle and characteristics of SHS technology are briefly introduced, while the application of SHS technology on the field of HLW curing in recent years and the research progress of SHS technology are especially elaborated. Meanwhile, the developing trends in the future are proposed.
