Low temperature reaction of Feillex{trademark} HPQ and nitric acid

Conference ·
OSTI ID:752035
Despite reports of the relative inertness of Reillex{trademark} HPQ anion exchange resin to chemical and radiological degradation, a low temperature exothermic reaction was identified for this resin in nitric acid using the Reactive System Screening Tool (RSST). The purpose of this work is to characterize the low temperature exothermic reaction, investigate its origin, and evaluate the risks it introduces to plutonium processing at the Savannah River Site.
