RADIATION STABILITY OF ORGANIC LIQUIDS. Semi-Annual Report No. 5 for Period January 1 to June 30, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4215162
The research conducted during this period was concerned with the degree of protection conferred upon TBP by certain organic additives in the Amsco diluent, the nature and degree of damage to TBP when exposed simultaneously to both 12 N nitric acid and radiation (100 or 400 whr/liter), irradiation of di-sec- butyl phenylphosphonate and dilutions of this compound in o-xylene--Amsco, studies of the efficiency of acidic species extraction from TBP with various caustic solutions, development of an acceptable method for the codetermination of nitric acid and DBP in TBP-- Amsco systems, and the irradiation of N-benzyl-l- nonyl decyl amine and N-benzyl-1-undecyl dodecyl amine to 400 whr/liter levels. These six groups of studies are summarized in detail and the salient results are noted for each group. (auth)
