Properties of Radioactive Calcine Retrieved from the Second Calcined Solids Storage Facility at ICPP.

摘要

The chemical and physical properties of radioactive alumina and zirconia calcine samples retrieved from the storage bins at ICPP were measured. Chemical properties measured include chemical composition,crystalline structure,and radiochemical composition. The physical properties measured and reported include density,size distribution,relative attrition,solubility in 8 M HNO sub 3 ,thermal stability,and flow characteristics. The chemical and physical properties of the retrieved calcine after the 10to 12years of storage are very similar to freshly prepared simulated calcine. (ERA citation 04:040422)
