The effects of radiolysis and hydrolysis on the stability of extraction systems for minor actinides

Creator:: Wade, Emily C.
Abstract:: Industrial reprocessing of irradiated nuclear fuel (INF) is one of the most complex procedures performed on a large scale; the process is intricate due to the mix of radionuclides present in INF. As a global trend for nuclear power and reprocessing continues, research is geared toward optimizing the extraction of...

The investigation of dipicolinic acid diamide derivatives for the separation of actinides and lanthanides using solid phase extraction chromatography

Creator:: Black, Corrie D.
Abstract:: An alternative extractant for the TRUEX/UNEX process was investigated in solid phase extraction chromatography. The para and ortho isomers of diamides derivatives of dipicolinic acid (N,N'-diethyl-N,N'-ditolyl-dipicolinamide, EtTDPA) have been found in the past to effectively separate actinides from lanthanides in solvent extraction and were successfully impregnated on two uncoated, inert...

Influence of temperature on the extraction of Pu(IV) by tri-n-butyl phosphate from acidic nitrate solutions

Creator:: Brown, M. Alex
Abstract:: The goal of Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative program is to efficiently separate and recover actinides in attempts to reprocess irradiated nuclear fuel and reduce the necessary storage volume. In order to facilitate large-scale industrial applications of liquid-liquid separation processes, knowledge of the thermodynamic constants associated with the distribution of metal...

Evaluating the surface protection and decontamination efficiency of DeconGel 1101 toward Cs-137 spilled on biological, salt-covered, rusty, wet and solid painted surfaces

Creator:: Hanley, Kyle J.
Abstract:: This thesis presents an approach to develop innovative methods for decontamination and surface protection applicable to naval nuclear ships and potentially, personnel, replacing antiquated techniques. To accomplish this goal, two products manufactured by CBI Polymers, LLC., DeconGel™ 1101 (1101) and a shampoo, DeconGel™ "prototype" (prototype), were tested. The prototype was...

Synthesis and testing of a novel soft donor organic extractant molecule for targeted soft metal extraction from aqueous phases

Creator:: Gullekson, Brian J.
Abstract:: Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) resultant from the generation of nuclear power is a chemically and radiologically diverse system which is advantageous to chemically process prior to geologic disposal. Hydrometallurgy is the primary technology for chemical processing for light water reactor spent fuels, where spent fuel is dissolved in an acid...

An investigation of chitosan for sorption of radionuclides

Creator:: Holfeltz, Vanessa Elaine
Abstract:: Chitosan is a biopolymer resulting from the deacetylation of chitin, the second most abundant biopolymer in nature. Chitosan has been successfully used in systems to remove metal ions and other pollutants from wastewater. Chitosan has shown promise as a sorbent for radionuclides in some aqueous waste streams. The sorption of...

Preliminary investigation of X-ray imaging for dose extraction of BANG® polymer gel in intensity modulated radiation therapy

Creator:: Sath, Chhipo
Abstract:: This study investigated gel dosimetry with X-ray CT imaging as a possible means for extracting dose information from a 3D gel dosimeter. Currently Optical CT and MRI are the popular means of dose extraction, but X-ray CT imaging has the advantage of being more convenient and cost effective. The dosimetric...

Dissolution of uranium dioxide microspheres in carbonate and hydrogen peroxide solutions

Creator:: Adams, Timothy G.
Abstract:: Uranium dioxide has been used in industry both as a fuel for power reactors and as a target for the production of radioisotopes. One of the most important radioisotopes produced using these targets is molybdenum-99 (Mo-99, 65.94hr half-life), which is the parent isotope to technetium-99m (Tc-99m, 6.01hr half-life), a radioisotope...

Investigating the Tibetan crust through automatic S wave detection and travel-time tomography using the Hi-CLIMB seismic array

Creator:: Riddle, Evan
Abstract:: The Hi-CLIMB broadband seismic experiment (2002-2005) operated 233 stations along an 800 km long north-south line from the Himalayan foreland into the central Tibetan Plateau and in a 350x350 km sub-array within southern Tibet and central and eastern Nepal. Station spacing was approximately 8 km along the line and 50...

Radiation Detection Using a Semiconducting Nanocrystal Detector

Creator:: Rinaldi, David William
Abstract:: Nanostructured material has been projected to be the next generation material for the detection of ionizing radiation due to the uniquely superior physical processes associated with charge creation and by virtue of their optoelectronic tunablility. Semiconducting Nanocrystal (NC) detectors, by nature of their low band gap material, low fabrication costs,...
