Containment of nitric acid solutions of Plutonium-238
- Los Alamos National Laboratory, P.O. Box 1663, MS E502, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87544 (United States)
The corrosion of various metals that could be used to contain nitric acid solutions of Pu-238 has been studied. Tantalum and tantalum/2.5{percent} tungsten resisted the test solvent better than 304L stainless steel and several INCONEL alloys. The solvent used to imitate nitric acid solutions of Pu-238 contained 70{percent} nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and ammonium hexanitratocerate. {copyright} {ital 1999 American Institute of Physics.}
