Decontamination of Cells 6 and 7, Building 3019, Following Plutonium- Release Incident (open access)

Decontamination of Cells 6 and 7, Building 3019, Following Plutonium- Release Incident

As a result of the evaporation explosion in the Radiochemical Processing Pilot Plant on Nov. 20, 1959, two cells were contaminated with plutonium to a transferable level of 10/sup 8/ d/m/100 sq cm. The area involved measures 40 by 20 by 27 ft high with a total surface area, including equipment, of 10,000 sq ft. The cells were decontaminated by a factor of 1000 in five months by removing loose equipment, debris, and shielding blocks and flushing with 430,600 liters of various decontaminating reagents. The remaining contamination (10/sup 4/ - 10/ sup 5/ d/-m/100 sq cm) was fixed to the surface with three coats of paint. The general beta-gamma radiation background was decreased from 2000 to 30 mr/hr and the long-lived alpha contamination in the air was reduced from 2 x 10/sup -10/ to 8 x 10/sup -13/ mu c/cc. Approximately 141 g of plutonium was flushed from the cell surfaces. The total direct effort expended was 3000 man-hr including 250 entries into the cell, 175 of which were made in plastic air suits. There were no overexposares from beta-gamma radiation and no detectable increase in the body burden of plutonium of any individual involved. (auth)

Dissolution of Zirconium Reactor Fuels in Titanium Equipment (open access)

Dissolution of Zirconium Reactor Fuels in Titanium Equipment

Continuous dissolution of Zircaloy-2 in a titanium dissolver appears practical using as a dissolvent refluxing 3 M HNO/sub 2/-l.2 M HF--0.4 M HBF/sub 4/-0.6 M Cr(III)-0.4 M Cr(VI)--0.46 M Zr. Dissolution and corrosion rates were 10 mg/cm/sub 2/-min and 0.0 mil/mo in short term tests, respectively. A stable product solution containing 0.36 M Zr was obtained after addition of aluminum nitrate to complex fluoride ion. Another reagent investigated for use in continuous dissolution was 16 M HNO/sub 3/-2.6 M F-0.025 M HBF/sub 4/-1.4 M Zr with short term titanium corrosion rates of 0.0 mil/mo. However, Zircaloy-2 dissolution rates were only 3 mg/cm/sup 2/-min in the latter reagent. (auth)
