Radiation Effects on Dowex MSC-1, Amberlite 252, and Duolite C-264 Ion Exchange Resins

摘要

The radiation effects on three new cation exchange resins were investigated. The resins were Dowex MSC-1, Amberlite 252, and Duolite C-264. The properties examined were ion exchange capacity, moisture content, plutonium loading and elution characteristics, thermal stability, and gas generation. There were some differences in the radiation effects on these properties but the overall radiation stability was considered to be about the same. The resins were relatively radiation stable, indicative of cation resins of this type. (ERA citation 08:056103)
