Assessment of lead tellurite glass for immobilizing electrochemical salt wastes from used nuclear fuel reprocessing

Journal Article Riley, Brian J. ; Kroll, Jared O. ; Peterson, Jacob A. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

This paper provides an overview of research evaluating the use of tellurite glass as a waste form for salt wastes from electrochemical processing. The capacities to immobilize different salts were evaluated including: a LiCl-Li2O oxide reduction salt (for oxide fuel) containing fission products, a LiCl-KCl eutectic salt (for metallic fuel) containing fission products, and SrCl2. Physical and chemical properties of the glasses were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, bulk density measurements, chemical durability tests, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray emission spectroscopy. These glasses were found to accommodate high concentrations of halide salts and have high densities. However, improvementsmore »« less

Assessment of lead tellurite glass for immobilizing electrochemical salt wastes from used nuclear fuel reprocessing

Journal Article Riley, Brian J. ; Kroll, Jared O. ; Peterson, Jacob A. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

This paper provides an overview of research evaluating the use of lead tellurite glass as a waste form for salt wastes from electrochemical reprocessing of used nuclear fuel. The efficacy of using lead tellurite glass to immobilize three different salt compositions was evaluated: a LiCl-Li2O oxide reduction salt containing fission products from oxide fuel, a LiCl-KCl eutectic salt containing fission products from metallic fuel, and SrCl2. Physical and chemical properties of glasses made with these salts were characterized with X-ray diffraction, bulk density measurements, differential thermal analysis, chemical durability tests, scanning and transmission electron microscopies, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

DEVELOPMENT OF GLASS COMPOSITIONS TO IMMOBILIZE ALKALI, ALKALINE EARTH, LANTHANIDE AND TRANSITION METAL FISSION PRODUCTS FROM NUCLEAR FUEL REPROCESSING

Conference Marra, James C ; Billings, Amanda Y ; Crum, Jarrod V ; ...

The Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI) waste management strategy revolves around specific treatment of individual or groups of separated waste streams. A goal for the separations processes is to efficiently manage the waste to be dispositioned as high level radioactive waste. The Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI) baseline technology for immobilization of the lanthanide (Ln) and transition metal fission product (TM) wastes is vitrification into a borosilicate glass. A current interest is to evaluate the feasibility of vitrifying combined waste streams to most cost effectively immobilize the wastes resulting from aqueous fuel reprocessing. Studies showed that high waste loadings aremore »« less

Dehalogenation of electrochemical processing salt simulants with ammonium phosphates and immobilization of salt cations in an iron phosphate glass waste form

Journal Article Riley, Brian J. ; Peterson, Jacob A. ; Vienna, John D. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

This study demonstrates the conversion of simulated pyroprocessing salt wastes [i.e., ER(SF) and ERV2] into chemically durable iron phosphate glass waste forms through reactions with ammonium hydrogen phosphate precursors [i.e., NH4H2PO4 and (NH4)2HPO4] and added Fe2O3. The reaction of the salt simulants with the phosphate precursors resulted in dehalogenation of the salt through the production of NH4Cl and NH4I (along with water), of which the NH4Cl can be used to produce UCl3 oxidant for use in the electrorefiner during pyroprocessing. These iron phosphate glasses contain a notably higher waste loading than the baseline glass-bonded sodalite ceramic waste form, which requiresmore »« less
