National Waste Terminal Storage Program: containment system concepts for transporting Type B quantities of transuranic waste

Description: A series of shipping containment system preliminary concepts for Type B quantities of transuranic waste have been formulated. The concepts were based on hypothetical accident protection requirements, potential waste forms, and selected hardware design/considerations. The concepts consist of suggested waste system containment configurations and construction material suggestions. Analysis of the concepts, based on such features as fabrication ease and cost, utility, and payload efficiency, reveal… more

Actinide recovery from combustible waste: the Ce(IV)-NHO/sub 3/ system. Final report

Description: Actinides in ash can be leached effectively by refluxing with Ce(IV) in HNO/sub 3/; solubilization of actinide in ash was greater than or equal to 95% at ash concentrations to 30 g/l in stirred leachant. Plutonium and americium were the actinides present in the ash. Solubilized plutonium and americium were recovered from Ce(IV)-HNO/sub 3/ solution by solvent extraction. Extraction of plutonium into 30% tributyl phosphate in n-dodecane gave 99.99% recovery. The plutonium-depleted solution was th… more

Carbide Precipitation in the Heat Affected Zone of a GTA Weld in 21-6-9 Stainless Steel.

Description: Grain boundary precipitation was observed in a multipass GTA weld in 21-6-9 stainless steel. The precipitate was identified bby electron diffraction as Msub23 Csub6-type carbide. The presence of these carbide particles did not cause intergranular attack in standard corrosion tests.
