Crystallization behavior, quantitation of Ce3+/Ce4+ and chemical stability analysis of multiple alkaline earths borosilicate glasses for immobilizing simulated tetravalent actinides

•Borosilicate glass immobilizing simulated actinides were synthesized.•The crystallization behavior of pressed powder and green pellet was investigated.•The relationship between the content of Ce3+/Ce4+ and chemical stability were revealed.•Borosilicate glasses nuclear waste forms have good chemical stability.
