Recovery and purification of nickel-63 from HFIR-irradiated targets

Description: The production of large quantities of high-specific-activity [sup 63]Ni (>10 Ci/g) requires both a highly enriched [sup 62]Ni target and a long irradiation period at high neutron flux. Trace impurities in the nickel and associated target materials are also activated and account for a significant fraction of the discharged activity and essentially all of the gamma activity. While most of these undesirable activation products can be removed as chloride complexes during anion exchange, chromium, p… more

Investigation of the corrosion behavior of cooling coil material in a simulated concrete environment

Description: Pitting corrosion of the cooling coils embedded in the concrete roof of the waste tanks is one of the suspected causes of the recent cooling coil failures. Cyclic polarization tests were conducted to predict the threshold chloride level above which pitting would initiate. The threshold chloride level was determined to be 9000 ppM. Although these tests predict the electrochemical or corrosion behavior of the metal, they may not predict the severity of attack. Further tests which investigate the … more

Hydrogen uptake into silicon from an ECR plasma

Description: The concentration of hydrogen in solution near the surface of silicon exposed to an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma was determined by measuring the flux of hydrogen permeating to subsurface microcavities. The energy and flux of hydrogen impinging onto the surface from the plasma was also measured. A model is described which predicts the concentration of hydrogen in solution from the energy and flux of the impinging hydrogen. The measured solution concentrations were {approximately}10{… more

Sampling and analysis of natural gas trace constituents

Description: Major and minor components of natural gas are routinely analyzed by gas chromatography (GC), using a thermal conductivity (TC). The best results obtained by these methods can report no better than 0.01 mole percent of each measured component. Even the extended method of analysis by flame ionization detector (FID) can only improve on the detection limit of hydrocarbons. The gas industry needs better information on all trace constituents of natural gas, whether native or inadvertently added durin… more

Shale oil value enhancement research. First quarterly technical progress report, March 1, 1993--May 31, 1993

Description: Concurrent progress is being made in all key areas, namely, separation, characterization and market assessment. The market area, not one of our traditionally strong areas, has been going better than expected. We believe this is due mainly to the emerging interest in new and unconventional materials. The characterization work has been progressing solidly with the fundamental Z-BASIC correlations providing information not heretofore available in the chemical literature. Our agreement with Hewlett… more

Iodine evolution and pH control

Description: pH is the major factor in determining the extent of I{sub 2} in solution. In containment where no pH-control chemicals are present, the acidity or basicity of the water pool will be determined by materials that are introduced into containment as a result of the accident itself. These materials may be fission products (i.e., cesium compounds), thermally produced products (i.e., core-concrete aerosols), or compounds produced by radiation (i.e., nitric acid). In situations where pH levels fall bel… more

Analyzing organic sulfur in coal/char: Integrated mild degradation/XANES methods. [Quarterly] technical report, September 1--November 30, 1993

Description: To address the acid rain problem effort has been expended on finding methods for the removal of sulfur from coal. Despite these efforts organic sulfur has proven very difficult to remove. Perhaps the single most important reason for this is the fact that the organic sulfur in coal remains very poorly characterized. Thus, objective of this study is to combine advanced nondestructive and advanced destructive methods of sulfur analysis for characterization of the organic sulfur in Illinois Basin c… more

A proposal for the analysis of nitrocellulose in soil or compost

Description: Currently, there is no ``standard`` analytical method for the measurement of nitrocellulose (NC) in soil or compost. At the present, an indirect method is used. This method extracts the NC from soil or compost, separates out nitrate or nitrite ions, hydrolyzes the NC nitrogroups, and measures the liberated nitrite colorimetrically. Major weaknesses are that the %N content or degree of nitrate substitution (DS) of the NC must be known to convert the nitrate measurements to NC concentrations, inc… more

Radiolytic bubble formation and level changes in simulated high-level waste salts and sludges -- application to Savannah River Site and Hanford Storage tanks

Description: Radiolytically-produced bubbles of trapped gas are observed in simulated high-level waste (HLW) damp salt cake exposed to Co-60 gamma radiation. As the damp salt cake is irradiated, its volume increases due to the formation of trapped gas bubbles. Based on the increase in volume, the rate of trapped gas generation varies between 0.04 and 0.2 molecules/100 eV of energy deposited in the damp salt cake. The maximum volume of trapped gas observed in experiments is in the range 21--26 vol %. After r… more
