Aspects of nuclear waste management. Volume 1. Pre-emplacement risks

Description: Results of the previous one-dimensional thermal analysis of interim storage accidents are confirmed by more detailed two-dimensional calculations. Waste temperatures calculated for interim storage accidents are moderately sensitive to assumptions concerning canister spacing and are much less sensitive to boundary conditions at the canister top. For an individual 100 m from a transportation accident involving solidified high-level waste, the expected dose from gamma radiation is on the order of … more

Decontamination of bismuth phosphate process first cycle and coating removal wastes

Description: Recent successes with the use of metal ferrocynanides, particularly nickel ferrocyanide, for the removal of cesium from Uranium Recovery Process wastes prompted an investigation into the use of this carrier for the removal of cesium from wastes produced in the coating-removal and first-decontamination-cycle steps of the Bismuth Phosphate Process. Both in-line treatment of the wastes currently produced and treatment of supernatant liquids from wastes already stored in underground tanks were cons… more
