Development of nuclear energetics requires closure of nuclear fuel cycle (NFC). Since existing technologies cannot provide full extraction of tritium from irradiated nuclear fuel (INF) some aqueous media of INF reprocessing will be contaminated with tritium. Recycling this water will cause tritium accumulation in INF reprocessing system. Hence there is need to remove tritium from aqueous...

The LASE (Operator Support Analyses Laboratory) develops and implements radiochemical methods devoted to the characterization of Long-Lived Radionuclides in Low and Intermediate Level Nuclear Wastes. 63Ni is generally one of the radionuclides which impose the classification of the radioactive wastes. This radionuclide is produced by neutron activation of stable nickel which is a major...

384. Development Testing of the Membrane Installation Designed for Purification of Liquid Low-Level Waste from the Radiochemical Plant

Verbal

Development testing of the membrane installation designed to purify low-level solutions of the radiochemical plant was carried out. The purification technology of liquid radioactive wastes (LRW) includes the stages of selective sorption, ultrafiltration and two-phase reverse osmosis. LRW salt content is caused by hardness salts and sodium nitrate. LRW activity is due to radionuclides of...

Tc-99 is a long-lived radioactive isotope; its main source is a spent nuclear fuel (SNF). Thus, it is necessary to localize Tc either into the glass or in the other solid matrix with a slight leaching or into the matrixes fitted for transmutation to prevent technetium escape into the environment. Due to the widely used hydrometallurgy flowsheet of the SNF reprocessing, Тс occurs as...

120. Extraction Chromatographic Separation with ICP-MS Detection for the Determination of Selenium-79 in Solutions

Verbal

Radioactive waste produced by nuclear facilities usually contains significant amount of long-lived alpha- and beta emitters (e.g. 99Tc, 93Mo, 93Zr, 41Ca, 126Sb, 107Pd and 79Se). Characterization of radioactive waste is usually carried out only by gamma-spectrometry because of its easy application for determination of full activity level of the waste. It is the main required parameter of the...

359. Complexation of a novel multidentate chelating agent “N2S2O2/N4O2” with Po(IV)

Polonium is a highly radiotoxic element, whose main hazard comes from ingestion or inhalation. One of polonium’s isotopes, polonium-210 (Po-210) exists naturally from the uranium-238 decay. 20% of the annual effective dose of Po-210 comes from inhalation of uranium and thorium radionuclides and 60 % from ingestion. To illustrate the radiotoxicity of Po-210, one may note that 1 µg of Po-210...
