INDUSTRIAL CHEMICAL PRODUCTION BY CHEMO-NUCLEAR PROCESSES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE PRODUCTION OF FIXED NITROGEN

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4142396
The charactcristics and feasibility of the direct use of nuclear reactors for production of industrial chemicals were examined. The investigation was limited to endothermic chemical reactions utilizing fission fragment energy, and further limited to the gas phase. The program was conducted to determine if chemo-nuclear processes are feasible and competitive and to indicate areas of research activity required for further development. The reaction forming oxides of nitrogen was selected for the study. and data correlations and evaluations, chemical thermodynamics. radiation kinetics, reactor parameter studies, chemical process design studies, chemical economics, radioactivity and contamination studies, power plant design, and cost estimates related to production processes are included.
