A study was undertaken to measure the resistance of selected materials to corrosive conditions in calcination of simulated zirconium waste solutions in rotary ball kilns. One investigation centered on use of a 325 and a 700 deg C kiln in series for forming nitrogen oxides separately from hydrogen fluoride. A second involving a single-kiln unit was made because several alloys showed favorable resistance in the high temperature (defluorination) unit of the double- kiln apparatus. At least four alloys were found suitable as materials of construction for single- or doublekiln apparatus for calcining radioactive wastes. (auth)
