Low temperature reaction of reillexφ HPQ and nitric acid

  • 1. Westinghouse Savannah River Company, Aiken, South California, 29808 (United States)

Description

Despite reports 1,2,3,4 of the relative inertness of Reillexoe HPQ anion exchange resin to chemical and radiological degradation, a low temperature exothermic reaction was identified for this resin in nitric acid using the Reactive System Screening Tool5 (RSST). The purpose of this work is to characterize the low temperature exothermic reaction, investigate its origin, and evaluate the risks it introduces to plutonium processing at the Savannah River Site
