Title: Empirical rate equation model and rate calculations of hydrogen generation for Hanford tank waste

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/797484· OSTI ID:797484

Empirical rate equations are derived to estimate hydrogen generation based on chemical reactions, radiolysis of water and organic compounds, and corrosion processes. A comparison of the generation rates observed in the field with the rates calculated for twenty eight tanks shows agreement with in a factor of two to three.
