Solid-state storage of radioactive krypton in a silica-based matrix
- 1. Battelle, Pac Northwest Lab, Richland, Wash, USA
Description
A method for storage of radioactive krypton in bottles made of ceramic materials is assessed. This paper discusses the feasibility of dissolving or trapping krypton in a porous silica-based glass. The dissolution or trapping occurs when the glass is exposed to krypton at high pressures and simultaneously sintered at high temperatures to close pores and markedly restrict the diffusion and release of the gas from the sample. 17 refs
