Abstract

Uranium-molybdenum alloys are of value thanks to their in-pile behaviour but serious disadvantages arise in connection with the storing of fission products resulting from the processing of these alloys. Because of the insolubility of molybdenum it is impossible to concentrate a solution of fission products by evaporation, and for this reason we have directed our efforts towards the solubilization of molybdenum through the addition of reagents such as iron or phosphoric ions. In this way one can obtain final solutions of 60 g/l Mo with Fe 100 g/l Mo with PO{sub 4}H{sub 3}. The volumes to be stored are still considerable (especially with Fe) and the possibility of nitrate calcination in a fluidized bed was considered. The reaction takes place at about 400 Degree-Sign C. The behaviour of the ruthenium and the friability of the calcined solid (formation of considerable amounts of fine material) have led us to abandon this process in favour of the preparation of phosphate glasses.

L'insolubilite du molybdene interdit toute concentration par evaporation de la solution de produits de fission. C'est pourquoi les auteurs ont oriente leurs etudes vers la solubilisation du molybdene par addition de reactifs tels que le fer ou les ions phosphoriques. Ainsi, on peut obtenir les solutions finales a 60 g/l Mo avec Fe, 100 g/l Mo avec PO{sub 4}H{sub 3} Les volumes a stocker sont encore importants (surtout avec Fe) et la calcination des nitrates dans un lit fluidise a ete etudiee. La reaction a lieu vers 400 Degree-Sign C. Le comportement du ruthenium et la friabilite du solide calcine (formation importante de fines) a conduit a abandonner ce procede au profit de la confection de verres phosphates. (author) [Spanish] Las aleaciones U-Mo son interesantes por la forma en que se comportan en el reactor, pero presentan serios inconvenientes en lo que respecta al almacenamiento de los productos de fision resultantes de su tratamiento. La insolubilidad del molibdeno impide concentrar por evaporacion las soluciones de los productos de fision. Por tal motivo, los autores han estudiado la posibilidad de solubilizar el molibdeno agregandole reactivos tales como el hierro o los iones fosforicos. De este modo, es posible obtener soluciones finales de 60 g/l Mo con hierro, 100 g/l Mo con PO{sub 4}H{sub 3}. Los volumenes que es preciso almacenar siguen siendo importantes (sobre todo con el hierro) y por eso se ha estudiado la calcinacion de los nitratos en un lecho fluidizado. La reaccion tiene lugar a los 400 Degree-Sign C aproximadamente. El comportamiento del rutenio y la friabilidad del solido calcinado (importante formacion de particulas menudas) ha inducido a los autores a reemplazar este procedimiento por el de preparacion de vidrios fosfAtados.

Odnako voznikaet problema hranenija produktov delenija, kotorye poluchajutsja v rezul'tate ih pererabotki.
