Strontium-90: Recovery and lag storage interim program
Increased interest in the civilian, space, and military applications of isotopic power has prompted a study by which the Chemical Processing Department can provide the interim strontium-90 requirements on a schedule considerably accelerated from that previously proposed. This document summarizes a study of the technical and operational feasibility and hazards involved in: recovery of semi-refined megacurie quantities of Sr{sup 90} from current Purex waste; lag storage of the Sr{sup 90} fraction in the 244 CR Process Vault for Sr{sup 89} decay; and subsequent reconcentration and refinement to a bulk product suitable for isolation and packaging by Hanford Laboratories.
