Description
Argonne National Laboratory is currently developing an electro-metallurgical process for treating a wide array of spent nuclear fuels. As part of this process, two waste streams will be consolidated into waste forms; one will be a mineral and the other a metal alloy. The metal waste form is an alloy that contains cladding hulls, ''noble'' metal fission products, and Zr from alloy fuels. The nominal composition of the metal waste form alloys are stainless steel-15 wt.% Zr (SS-15Zr) for stainless steel clad fuel and Zircaloy-8 wt.% stainless steel (Zr-8SS) for Zircaloy clad fuel, with both alloys also containing up to 4 wt.% noble metal fission products. This paper investigates using the two nominal metal alloy compositions described above as a possible Pu and TRU disposition form
