Pacific Northwest Laboratory monthly report to the Nuclear Research and Applications Division, for February 1976. [/sup 90/SrF/sub 2/]
At Hanford, strontium is separated from the high-level waste, then converted to the fluoride, and doubly encapsulated in small, high-integrity containers for subsequent long-term storage. The fluoride conversion, encapsulation and storage take place in the Waste Encapsulation and Storage Facilities (WESF). This encapsulated strontium fluoride represents an economical source of /sup 90/Sr if the WESF capsule can be licensed for heat source applicatons under anticipated use conditions. The objectives of this program are to obtain the data needed to license /sup 90/SrF/sub 2/ heat sources and specifically the WESF /sup 90/SrF/sub 2/ capsules. The information needed for licensing can be divided into three general areas: (1) long-term SrF/sub 2/ compatibility data; (2) chemical and physical property data on /sup 90/SrF/sub 2/; and (3) capsule property data such as external corrosion resistance, crush strength, etc. The current program is designed to provide the required information.
