Review of DOE criteria for safe storage of Pu metals and oxides.

Description: A technical review of the DOE criteria for storage of plutonium metals and oxides determined the maximum pressure that could be obtained from 50-year storage of 5.0-kg of PuO{sub 2} powder under the assumed worst-case conditions derived from the DOE standard [1,2]. Those conditions included a final temperature of 400 F and the reaction to yield H{sub 2} gas in accordance with the equation PuO{sub 2}(c) + x H{sub 2}O {r_arrow} PuO{sub 2+x}(c) + x H{sub 2}(g) where the x moles of sorbed water rep… more

Electrometallurgical treatment of oxide spent fuel - engineering-scale development.

Description: Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has developed the electrometallurgical treatment process for conditioning various Department of Energy (DOE) spent fuel types for long-term storage or disposal. This process uses electrorefining to separate the constituents of spent fuel into three product streams: metallic uranium, a metal waste form containing the cladding and noble metal fission products, and a ceramic waste form containing the transuranics, and rare earth, alkali, and alkaline earth fission… more

Effects of Interstitial Boron and Alloy Stoichiometry on Environmental Effects in FeAl

Description: Room-temperature tensile tests were conducted on B-doped (300 wppm) and B-free polycrystalline FeAl alloys containing 37, 40, 45, and 48 at. % aluminum in pure hydrogen gas at pressures in the range of 10 sup minus 8 to 10 sup 3 Pa. The ductilities of both B-free and B-doped FeAl decreased with increasing Al content. However, at a given Al level, the ductility of B-doped FeAl was higher than that of its B-free counterpart. Fracture mode was independent of environment and dependent mainly on sto… more

Transportable vitrification system demonstration on mixed waste. Revision 1

Description: The Transportable Vitrification System (TVS) is a large scale, fully integrated, vitrification system for the treatment of low-level and mixed wastes in the form of sludges, soils, incinerator ash, and many other waste streams. It was demonstrated on surrogate waste at Clemson University and at the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR) prior to treating actual mixed waste. Treatment of a combination of dried B and C Pond sludge and CNF sludge was successfully demonstrated at ORR in 1997. The demonstratio… more

Treatability study Number PDC-1-O-T. Final report

Description: Los Alamos National Laboratory provided treatability study samples from four waste streams, designated Stream {number_sign}1, Stream {number_sign}3, Stream {number_sign}6, and Stream {number_sign}7. Stream {number_sign}1 consisted of one 55-gallon drum of personal protective equipment (PPE), rags, and neutralizing agent (bicarbonate) generated during the cleanup of a sodium dichromate solution spill. Stream {number_sign}3 was one 55-gallon drum of paper, rags, lab utensils, tools, and tape from… more

Oxidation kinetics of reaction products formed in uranium metal corrosion.

Description: The oxidation behavior of uranium metal ZPPR fuel corrosion products in environments of Ar-4%O{sub 2} and Ar-20%O{sub 2} were studied using thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). These tests were performed to extend earlier work in this area specifically, to assess plate-to-plate variations in corrosion product properties and the effect of oxygen concentration on oxidation behavior. The corrosion products from two relatively severely corroded plates were similar, while the products from a relativel… more

Flammable gas tank safety program: Technical basis for gas analysis and monitoring

Description: Several Hanford waste tanks have been observed to exhibit periodic releases of significant quantities of flammable gases. Because potential safety issues have been identified with this type of waste behavior, applicable tanks were equipped with instrumentation offering the capability to continuously monitor gases released from them. This document was written to cover three primary areas: (1) describe the current technical basis for requiring flammable gas monitoring, (2) update the technical ba… more
