ION EXCHANGE REMOVAL OF FISSION PRODUCTS FROM HIGH PURITY WATER. DEVELOPMENT WORK ASSOCIATED WITH THE PWR RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4295121

Laboratory experiments and tests associated with inxam pile loop operations are reported showing that removal of Cs/sup 137/, Ba/sup 140/,Sr/sup 90/, Ce/sup 144/, Ru/sup 106/ Zr/sup 95/, I/sup 131/, and other radioisotopes from high-purity water is accomplished by passage through mixed-bed ion exchange columns in the hydrogen-hydroxyl form. Decontamination factors for these isotopes averanged 10/sup 3/ across single 30-mo-. beds for processed volumes up to 7500 column volumes. Decontamination factors as high as 10/sup 9/ were observed for Sr/sup 90/ (auth)
