Durability and natural mineral studies carried out to support development of waste forms for immobilisation of plutonium interim report: April 30, 1999
This report details the work undertaken at ANSTO under Project 2 of the State of Work with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (document B345772). In this Statement of Work, it was detailed that the following tasks would be carried out: Task 2.1--Corrosion tests on monoliths. This task was to assess the durability of ''impurity samples'' produced in Task 1.4, and ''near-equilibrium processing condition samples'' produced in Task 1.2. Task 2.2--Corrosion tests on powdered samples. This task was to determine the forward dissolution rate of single-phase materials using a single-pass-flow-through test (SPFT). Task 2.3--Physical property measurements. These results have been reported elsewhere and will not be included in this report. Task 2.4--Natural mineral analogue studies. These studies were to be undertaken to document the geological durability of natural brannerites. This report provides results of the work undertaken in Tasks 2.1, 2.2 and 2.4 until the end of April 1999.
