Potential calcining stoichiometries and their effects on waste volumes

Creators

Description

Potential chemical stoichiometries are presented which could permit calcining a blend of ICPP Fluorinel and sodium-bearing high-level waste at greater ratios of sodium waste than heretofore with the intent of generating minimal waste volumes for repository disposal. The importance of destroying the alkali nitrates during calcining to improve blend ratios is discussed. Many plots and graphs are presented to project and plan for maximum effectiveness of working off the sodium waste inventory at a maximum rate and minimum volume. 14 refs., 13 figs., 11 tabs
