Storage of radioactive aqueous wastes from Purex processes [PDF]
The radioactive liquid wastes from a separations facility are customarily stored in underground waste storage tanks. The wastes from the proposed Purex Separations Plant will have a high concentration of the fission products and will result in a large evolution of heat.

Numerical simulation of radionuclides migration in the far field of a geological repository [PDF]
Safety conditions associated with geological repositories must be guaranteed also in the case of radionuclides migrating from the near field to the far field of a geological repository and to the external environment.

Abstract Recovery of rare earth elements (REEs) from end‐of‐life (EOL) products represents a strategic opportunity to strengthen the domestic supply chain for rare earth elements. This work presents a superstructure‐based optimization framework for finding the most economical processing pathway for different EOL rare earth permanent magnets (REPMs ...

New Waste Calcining Facility Non-radioactive Process Decontamination [PDF]
This report documents the results of a test of the New Calcining Facility (NWCF) process decontamination system. The decontamination system test occurred in December 1981, during non-radioactive testing of the NWCF. The purpose of the decontamination system test was to identify equipment whose design prevented effective calcine removal and ...

Controlled Synthesis of a New Class of Heterostructured Metal Oxides (Cerium, Thorium, Uranium)/Calcium Fluoride Core-Shell Nanocrystals With Atomically Coherent Interfaces. [PDF]
Precisely engineered heterostructured metal oxide‐based MO2 / CaF2 (M = Ce, Th, U) core‐shell nanocrystals are synthesized with atomic‐level control over size, shell thickness, and interface coherence, expanding heterostructure design principles to cerium oxide and actinide oxide systems for the first time.

Foaming in Radioactive Waste Treatment and Immobilization Processes [PDF]
The Department of Energy's (DOE) Savannah River Site (SRS) is responsible for the safe storage, processing and immobilization of the High Level (radioactive) Waste (HLW) currently stored in approximately fifty million-gallon underground storage tanks. Foam is present in many areas of the HLW processing including HLW chemical processing, HLW evaporation
