Uranyl sulfate irradiations at the Van de Graaff: A means to combat uranyl peroxide precipitation
- Argonne National Lab. (ANL), Argonne, IL (United States)
As part of an effort to support SHINE Medical Technologies in developing a process to produce Mo-99 by neutron-induced fission, a series of irradiation experiments was performed with a 3 MeV Van de Graaff accelerator to generate high radiation doses in 0.5–2 mL uranyl sulfate solutions. The purpose was to determine what conditions result in uranyl peroxide precipitation and what can be done to prevent its formation. The effects of temperature, dose rate, uranium concentration, and the addition of known catalysts for the destruction of peroxide were determined.
