Evaluation of process variables in the cation exchange recovery of plutonium from 234-5 building sump water (open access)

Evaluation of process variables in the cation exchange recovery of plutonium from 234-5 building sump water

A previously reported cation exchange process for the recovery of Pu from sump water was studied in order to improve the procedure. The flowsheet calls for adjustment to 0.03M HNO/sub 3/, the addition of NH/sub 4/HSO/sub 3/ for Pu reduction, the addition of Al/sup 3 +/ to complex F/sup -/, followed by passage of the solution through a column of Dowex 50W, X-8 resin. Distribution coefficients were measured between the resin and synthetic sump solutions under a variety of possible simulated flowsheet conditions. By far the highest distribution coefficients were obtained with Pu(III) without the addition of Al. Results with Pu(IV) varied from borderline to unsatisfactory depending on conditions. It is concluded that the process will be satisfactory if the Al addition is eliminated. (JGB)

Joint Chiefs of Staff: Notes (open access)

Joint Chiefs of Staff: Notes

The purpose of the paper is to state the rationale upon which the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) bases its opposition to further extension of the Limited Test Ban Treaty (LTBT). The argumentation of the paper is hinged primarily on the contention that the USSR is ahead of the US in nuclear weapon technology. Accordingly, there is much for the US to do, so that the Soviets do not, primarily through the deployment of an Anti-Ballistic Missile [ABM] system, alter the strategic balanc the US should not agree to further restrictions on testing which would prevent the US from correcting the deficiencies of its strategic deterrent systems and making developments necessary for a Nike-Zeus warhead.
