Thermal Stabilization of {sup 233}UO{sub 2}, {sup 233}UO{sub 3}, and {sup 233}U{sub 3}O{sub 8}
This report identifies an appropriate thermal stabilization temperature for {sup 233}U oxides. The temperature is chosen principally on the basis of eliminating moisture and other residual volatiles. This report supports the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) Standard for safe storage of {sup 233}U (DOE 2000), written as part of the response to Recommendation 97-1 of the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (DNFSB), addressing safe storage of {sup 233}U. The primary goals in choosing a stabilization temperature are (1) to ensure that the residual volatiles content is less than 0.5 wt % including moisture, which might produce pressurizing gases viamore »
