Radiation stability of a hydrogen getter material (DPPE). [Dimerized phenyl propargyl ether containing Pd on CaCO/sub 3/ catalyst]

Description: An investigation was made on a hydrogen getter material (DPPE) to determine its radiation stability. Such material has potential for nuclear industry applications. The material is composed of 75 percent of an unsaturated organic compound (1,6-diphenoxy-2,4-hexadiyne) and 25 percent catalyst (5 percent palladium on calcium carbonate). The radiation stability of this material and of the hydrogenated product was determined by exposing them to gamma radiation in air and vacuum and analyzing for rad… more

Radiolytic gas generation in plutonium contaminated waste materials

Description: Many plutonium contaminated waste materials decompose into gaseous products because of exposure to alpha radiation. The gases generated (usually hydrogen) over long-storage periods may create hazardous conditions. To determine the extent of such hazards, knowing the gas generation yields is necessary. These yields were measured by contacting some common Rocky Flats Plant waste materials with plutonium and monitoring the enclosed atmospheres for extensive periods of time. The materials were Plex… more
