Abstract

The U.S. Department of Energy`s Office of Waste Management is sponsoring joint U.S.-Russian research and development projects on chemical separations for treatment of radioactive wastes. This paper describes a project at the Khlopin Radium Institute in St. Petersburg. Scientists there, in cooperation with U.S. scientists, are investigating the applicability to U.S. waste streams of a Russian process for removal of cesium and strontium from highly radioactive wastes.

U.S. Department of Energy's initiatives for proliferation prevention program: solidification technologies for radioactive waste treatment in Russia

Conference Pokhitonov, Y; Kelley, D

Large amounts of liquid radioactive waste have existed in the U.S. and Russia since the 1950's as a result of the Cold War. Comprehensive action to treat and dispose of waste products has been lacking due to insufficient funding, ineffective technologies or no proven technologies, low priority by governments among others. Today the U.S. and Russian governments seek new, more reliable methods to treat liquid waste, in particular the legacy waste streams. A primary objective of waste generators and regulators is to find economical and proven technologies that can provide long-term stability for repository storage. In 2001, the V.G. Khlopinmore »« less

Collaborative development and testing of Russian technologies for the decontamination of Idaho Chemical Processing Plant high-activity liquid waste

Book Todd, T; Brewer, K; Herbst, R; ...

A collaborative research effort between Russian and United States scientists is underway to demonstrate the applicability of Russian technologies for the decontamination of liquid, high-activity wastes stored at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant. Solvent extraction technologies currently under development at the V.G. Khlopin Radium Institute include a chlorinated cobalt dicarbollide-based cesium and strontium partitioning process and a phosphine oxide derivative based process to partition actinides, rare earth elements and technetium. Both technologies are applicable to acidic waste solutions. Dynamic (counter-current) tests were performed in a hot cell at the Khlopin Radium Institute using both cobalt dicarbollide and phosphine oxide processesmore »« less
Fundamental Chemistry of the Universal Extractant (UNEX) for the Simultaneous Separation of Fission Products and Transurancies from High-Level Waste Streams

Technical Report Herbst, R

Through collaborative research by the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory and the Khlopin Radium Institute (St. Petersburg, Russia) the concept of a Universal Extraction (UNEX) solvent for simultaneously removing radioactive strontium, cesium, lanthanides, and transuranics from acidic aqueous waste streams in a single unit operation was developed and validated. These development efforts focused on the application of the process, where extractants were simply evaluated for extraction efficiency. The objective of this project is to conduct research that combines classical chemical techniques with advanced instrumental methods to elucidate the mechanisms of simultaneous metal extraction and study further the coordination geometriesmore »« less
