Actinides in ash can be leached effectively by refluxing with Ce(IV) in HNO/sub 3/; solubilization of actinide in ash was greater than or equal to 95% at ash concentrations to 30 g/l in stirred leachant. Plutonium and americium were the actinides present in the ash. Solubilized plutonium and americium were recovered from Ce(IV)-HNO/sub 3/ solution by solvent extraction. Extraction of plutonium into 30% tributyl phosphate in n-dodecane gave 99.99% recovery. The plutonium-depleted solution was then extracted with 30% dihexyl-N,N-diethylcarbamolylmethylenephosphonate (DHDECMP). Americium recovery was 99.64%. The Ce(IV)-HNO/sub 3/ system was compared with the HF-HNO/sub 3/ system now in common use. Advantages of the former included less equipment corrosion, no volatilization of silica, safe oxidation of carbon residues, minimal secondary waste (Ce is recycled), and better solubilization of actinide in the initial contact. However, additional contacts do not significantly improve solubilization, and a small fraction of actinide is not solubilized with Ce(IV)-HNO/sub 3/ that can be solubilized by HF-HNO/sub 3/. The effect of the fission product ruthenium on the dissolution of actinides in the Ce(IV)-HNO/sub 3/ system was investigated briefly, and a method for removing the ruthenium electrolytically was developed. Several process flowsheets were also considered. Actinide recovery requirements will suggest which …

A series of shipping containment system preliminary concepts for Type B quantities of transuranic waste have been formulated. The concepts were based on hypothetical accident protection requirements, potential waste forms, and selected hardware design/considerations. The concepts consist of suggested waste system containment configurations and construction material suggestions. Analysis of the concepts, based on such features as fabrication ease and cost, utility, and payload efficiency, revealed that concepts utilizing processed waste forms and/or disposable waste packages to provide a major portion of the required accident protection are most favorable.

The transient flow of an isothermal ideal gas from the cavity formed by an underground nuclear explosion is investigated. A two-dimensional finite element method is used in analyzing the gas flow. Numerical results of the pressure distribution are obtained for both the stemming column and the surrounding porous media.

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.

Letter from Rogelio R. Santos, 1980 LULAC Convention Chairman, to Ruben Bonilla, Jr., League of United Latin American Citizens National President, dated September 11, 1979. The letter is regarding planning for the LULAC 1980 Convention to be held in Washington, D.C.

Dynamic calibration is a measurement control technique designed to facilitate the use of nondestructive assay for the control and accounting of special nuclear material. The implementation of dynamic calibration requires selection of an appropriate control measurement and sampling plan to provide traceability for the measurement system. A general sampling plan for use when the control measurement is an independent assay is presented with examples.
