Technical Division quarterly progress report, January 1--March 31, 1978
- ed.
Fuel Cycle Research and Development: Results are presented on the fluidized-bed calcination of simulated waste from the reprocessing of spent commercial nuclear fuel, on the post-treatment of the resultant calcine, and on the use of bidentate extractants for the separation of actinide elements from the high-level waste prior to calcination. In addition, the development of storage technology for krypton-85 waste, and the behavior of RuO/sub 2/ in fluidized-bed combustion of HTGR fuel are reported. Special Materials Production: Reported are the long-term management of defense waste from the ICPP, the chemistry and pilot plant-studies on the removal of actinides and mercury from ICPP first cycle raffinate, the calcined solids retrieval and handling of ICPP waste stored in vaults, and the preparation of environmental impact statements on options given the Defense Waste Document. Process improvements are given on the Fluorinel headend process for zircaloy-clad fuel and on methods for uranium accountability. Other development results reported are on the Rover process for graphite based fuels, on the calcination of sodium-bearing waste, Fluorinel waste, tank WM-183 waste, and electrolytic process waste. Assistance to the Waste Calcination Process Plant is reported as well as support to the New Waste Calcination Process and methods for the monitoring of gaseous effluents. Other Projects Supporting Energy Developments: Results are reported on nuclear materials security, the behavior of liquid-solid fluidized-bed heat exchangers, in-plant reactor source term measurements, burnup methods for fast breeder reactor fuels, absolute thermal fission yields, analytical support to light water breeder reactor development, and species of iodine in the environment. Research on analytical methods cover iodine-129 in calciner feed, computing room improvements, stack gas sampling for particulates, analysis of glassified calcined waste, and specific components in various materials.
