Description
Iodine-129 and carbon-14 are of lesser importance than many other radionuclides in nuclear waste management because of their relatively low radiotoxicity. Their safe immobilization and disposal, however, is a significant challenge because their chemical properties are quite different from most other components of nuclear fuel waste. The authors have sought thermodynamically defensible organic waste forms for both of these radioisotopes. This paper discusses the stability of solubility of inorganic iodides as they relate to the selection of a waste form for iodine-129. The best candidates appear to be silver iodide (AgI), either alone or in combination with silver chloride (AgCl), and a combination of Bi5O7I and Bi2O3
