Gas generation by pure and impure plutonium oxide materials in sealed containers.

The Department of Energy (DOE) standard, DOE-STD-3013-2000, establishes criteria for stabilizing, packaging, and long term safe storage of plutonium-bearing materials at DOE facilities . The Standard applies to oxide or metal that contains at least 30 weight percent plutonium plus uranium. For oxide material a maximum of 5 kg of material is packaged in a nested set of two individually welded containers and the requirements include material stabilization at 950 C, 0 .5 weight percent moisture co… more

Introducing equipment and plutonium glove box modifications for monitoring gas generation over plutonium oxide materials.

DOE is embarking on a program to store large quantities of Pu-bearing materials for up to fifty years. Materials for long-term storage are metals and oxides that are stabilized and packaged according to the DOE storage standard. Experience with PuO, materials has shown that gases generated by catalytic and/or radiolytic processes may accumulate. Of concern are the generation of H, gas from adsorbed water and the generation of HCI or CI, gases from the radiolysis of chloride-containing salts. We… more
