Title: EMPIRICAL RATE EQUATION MODEL & RATE CALCULATIONS OF HYDROGEN GENERATION FOR HANFORD TANK WASTE

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/833516· OSTI ID:833516

Empirical rate equations are derived to estimate hydrogen generation based on chemical reactions, radiolysis of water and organic compounds, and corrosion processes. A comparison of the generation rates observed in the field with the rates calculated for twenty-eight tanks shows agreement within a factor of three. Revision 1 incorporates the available new data to update the equations. It also includes the contribution from total alpha to radiolysis.
