Cesium chloride compatibility testing program. Annual report, fiscal year 1985

Description: At Hanford, fission product cesium, containing 20 to 40% /sup 137/Cs, has been recovered from the high-level waste (HLW) and converted to cesium chloride (CsCl). Recovery of the Cs, as a nitrate, from the HLW and its subsequent purification, takes place in B-Plant. Conversion of the purified product to CsCl, encapsulation of the CsCl, and water storage of the CsCl capsules takes place in the Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facility (WESF). The CsCl is doubly encapsulated in high-integrity 316L … more

Stress corrosion cracking tests on high-level-waste container materials in simulated tuff repository environments

Description: Types 304L, 316L, and 321 austenitic stainless steel and Incoloy 825 are being considered as candidate container materials for emplacing high-level waste in a tuff repository. The stress corrosion cracking susceptibility of these materials under simulated tuff repository conditions was evaluated by using the notched C-ring method. The tests were conducted in boiling synthetic groundwater as well as in the steam/air phase above the boiling solutions. All specimens were in contact with crushed To… more
