Technical feasibility of krypton-85 storage in sodalite

Creators

Description

Based on these experimental results, the process that is technically feasible for a reference 2000 metric ton of heavy metal (MTHM) per year reprocessing plant producing approx. 17 MCi or approx. 190 m3 at STP would encapsulate krypton at approx. 20 cm3/g from krypton at temperatures greater than 5750C and pressures greater than 1600 atm with one batch a day in a 58-L high pressure vessel. Based on preliminary measurements at 5000C, the same process also would be feasible for a 70% krypton and 30% xenon mixture. 7 figures
