Radiolysis studies for the long-term storage of 233U oxides
Description
The 233U that has been removed from the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as UF6 will be converted to uranium oxide and placed into long-term storage. After conversion, radiolysis of fluorides that remain in the uranium oxide matrix may produce gaseous products (e.g., F2, HF) that are deleterious to storage containers, either through pressurization or corrosion. Consequently, an experimental program has been conducted to evaluate these potential radiolytic effects
