Probability of ruthenium reduction in H-4 by self-radiation (open access)

Probability of ruthenium reduction in H-4 by self-radiation

The following calculations have been made at the request of H.R. Schmidt to determine the probability that self-radiation may play a substantial role in the decomposition of the ruthenium tetroxide in the reflux scrubber, section of the Redox Ruthenium Oxidizer (H-4). The validity of the derived data necessarily depends upon the correctness of the basic assumptions made with regard to process conditions and to possible radiation-activated mechanisms of disintegration. It is estimated that the extent of solid ruthenium formation in the tower which results from radiation effects should not exceed 100 micrograms per batch. This rate is negligible compared to that now found in the presence of stainless steel packing, or to that which might be expected from thermally-activated disintegrations alone.
