Geologic Summary of the Central Valley of California with Reference to the Disposal of Radioactive Waste

Description: From introduction: This report describes the geology of the area only to the extent necessary for preliminary evaluation of the possibilities for the disposal of liquid radioactive waste by injection through deep wells. Their value will increase with development of extensive commercial production of atomic power and attendant creation of radioactive waste from the processing of spent fuel elements. The disposal of liquid waste in deep reservoirs is only one of several possibilities that must be… more

Strontium Sorption Studies on Crandallite

Description: Abstract: "Crandallite ores may be useful in the treatment of nuclear waste solutions because of their reactivity with strontium in weakly acid solutions and in alkaline solutions containing aluminum. The exchange capacity of the crandallite samples studies is not very high, being 6-10 miliequivalents of strontium and 2 milliequivalents of cesium per 100 grams of active phosphatic material. However, strontium removal is many times more effective from alkaline solutions, precipitation being the … more
