Separation of uranium from solid (U, Pu, Ag) oxide analytical waste: effect of batch size and nitric acid molarity

  • 1. Radiochemistry Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (India)

Description

Earlier we had studied the effect of leaching of a solid analytical waste of (U,Pu)O2 and AgCl with nitric acid of different molarities for identical as well as varying time intervals and the effect of leaching of this waste with nitric acid as a function of batch size (5,10, 20 g). In the present work, the effect of multistep leaching of a 25 g lot of this analytical waste with 4 and 8 M HNO3 was studied. The concentrations of U, Pu and silver were determined using ICP-AES. The results are discussed in this report. (author)
