Liquid centrifugation for nuclear waste partitioning

Description: The performance of liquid centrifugation for nuclear waste partitioning is examined for the Accelerator Transmutation of Waste Program currently under study at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Centrifugation might have application for the separation of the LiF-BeF{sub 2} salt from heavier radioactive materials fission product and actinides in the separation of fission product from actinides, in the isotope separation of fission-product cesium before transmutation of the {sup 137}Cs and {sup … more

Chemical Technology Division, Unit Operations Section Monthly Progress Report for February 1959

Description: A gamma scintillation spectrometer was used to measure diffusivity of uranyl nitrate in water during preliminary capillary experiments. During Fluorox run FBR-22, 90.4% of the theoretical amount of UF/sub 6/ formed was collected in cold traps and chemical traps. Toroid tests of flame calcined mixed Th-U oxide showed low corrosion rates, small changes in particle size and a low solubilization of uranium, while denitration of uranyl nitrate in a fluidized bed resulted in particle growth with unif… more

Scintillation response of lithium fluoride

Description: Thesis. Lithium fluoride crystals, with TlF added to the charge, were prepared by the Bridgman- Stockbarger method. The scintillation response to photon energies between 25 and 1250 keV for these crystals and a commercially prepared LiF (Ti) crystal was studied. The response of the LiF (Ti) crystal was compared to the response of an NE109 scintillator at 1250 keV. The dose response of the LiF (Ti) crystal was evaluated over the energy range 25 to 1250 keV. The absorption and emission spectra of… more

PHASE EQUILIBRIA IN MOLTEN SALT BREEDER REACTOR FUELS. I. THE SYSTEM LiF- BeF$sub 2$-UF$sub 4$-ThF$sub 4$

Description: The phase equilibrium relations for the systems limiting the quaternary system LiF--BeF/sub 2/--UF/sub 4/--ThF/sub 4/ are described in detail, along with available information on the quaternary system itself. The implications of the extensive solid solutions in the limiting systems are discussed, and experimental information supporting the conclusions is presented. The optical properties, crystallographic properties, and x-ray diffraction patterns for the phases occurring in these systems are t… more
