Organic components of nuclear wastes and their potential for altering radionuclide distribution when released to soil

Description: Normal waste processing at the Hanford operations requires the use of many organic materials, chiefly in the form of complexing agents and diluents. These organic materials and their chemical and radiolytic degradation products, have potential for complexing fission products and transuranium elements, both in the waste streams and upon infiltration into soil, perhaps influencing future sorption or migration of the nuclides. Particular complexation characteristics of various nuclides which const… more

Moessbauer effect of europium metal under pressure

Description: The pressure dependence of the magnetic hyperfine field and of the isomer shift of /sup 151/Eu in europium metal has been studied in a diamond anvil pressure cell at low temperatures. In the pressure range 0-12 GPa at 44/sup 0/K (T/sub N/ = 90/sup 0/K), the magnetic hyperfine field changes from -22 T to -8 T while the isomer shift increases from -7.3 to -3.8 mm s/sup -1/ relative to a SmF/sub 3/ source. The changes are interpreted as indicative of a pressure-driven intermediate valence state ca… more

Dual mechanism bifunctional polymers for the complexation of lanthanides and actinides. [Phosphinic resins]

Description: Phosphinic acid ion exchange/redox resins are synthesized by the reaction between polystyrene beads and phosphorus trichloride followed by base hydrolysis. The reaction requires a temperature of 73/sup 0/C for full functionalization to occur. The effect of lower functionalization temperatures on resin acid capacity was determined and the concomitant effect on ion exchange investigated. The acid capacity was found to vary from 1.09 mequiv/g to 4.79 mequiv/g in the functionalization temperature r… more

Effect of organic complexants on the mobility of low-level-waste radionuclides in soils

Description: The effect of certain organic complexants on the distribution of some radionuclides between solution and soil has been measured. The complexants and radionuclides examined are some of those most likely to be present in low-level waste disposal sites; Cs, Sr, Ni, Co, and Eu radionuclides, and EDTA, DTPA, oxalate, and citrate complexants. The effect of complexants was found to vary widely; in some systems there was no effect and in other systems there were large effects. In some cases slow rates … more
