Experiments on the incorporation of concentrated solutions of fission products in glasses and micas; Essais d'incorporation de solutions concentrees de produits de fission dans des verres et des micas

Abstract

1) The plants designed for extracting the plutonium of the G1, G2, G3 reactors fuel rods will produce extremely concentrated tions of fission products. 2) Let us consider a synthetic solution of the 'G2' type: (2N NO{sub 3}H - 2,25 meq/cm{sup 3} AI{sup +++} - 5.10{sup -3} {sup 134}Cs - {sup 137}Cs tracer). We made various glasses and micas by adding and mixing the necessary adjuvants and baking (900 to 1400 deg. C) in a graphite crucible. 3) The products obtained had either the shape of a cylindrical pellet or were reduced into a fine powder. They were mixed with 300 cm{sup 3} of synthetic sea water during variable periods of time in order to study leaching of the activity. 4) Experiments were first carried on caesium because of its solubility. 5) Fabrication of micas on a large scale sets many technological problems more difficult to solve (1400 deg. C) than in the case of glasses (1000 deg. C). A comparative study on both micas and glasses showed that leaching of activity was more important in the micas. (author)Fren.

C) a resoudre que ceux des verres (1000 deg. C): mais en etudiant verres et micas, nous avons constate que, en contre-partie, la retention de l'activite dans un mica est superieure a celle des verres etudies. (auteur)}
