Spectrophotometric analyses of LMFBR fuel-sodium aerosols
Creators
Description
Spectrophotometric investigations of (Pu,U)O2, sodium-(Pu,U)O2, and sodium-PuO2 aerosols show that enhanced solubility of uranium and plutonium occurs as a result of interaction of sodium with either mixed-oxide or PuO2 aerosols, with or without exposure to air. Results indicate that uranium is oxidized in the presence of sodium and air and is soluble as sodium uranyl tricarbonate. Plutonium is soluble as a Pu(IV) species from aerosols exposed to sodium and air. No evidence of a soluble Pu(VI) species has been found
