Nuclear waste forms for actinides.
The disposition of actinides, most recently 239Pu from dismantled nuclear weapons, requires effective containment of waste generated by the nuclear fuel cycle. Because actinides (e.g., 239Pu and 237Np) are long-lived, they have a major impact on risk assessments of geologic repositories. Thus, demonstrable, long-term chemical and mechanical durability are essential properties of waste forms for...
متن کاملScientific Basis for Polygraph Testing
Published scientific literature is reviewed for comparison question polygraph testing and its application to diagnostic and screening contexts. The review summarizes the literature for all aspects of the testing procedure including the pretest interview, test data collection, test data analysis, and a proffer of the physiological and psychological basis for polygraph testing. Polygraph accuracy...
متن کاملModelling the Work Flow of a Nuclear Waste Management Program
In this paper we describe a modelling project to improve a nuclear waste management program in charge of the creation of a new system for the permanent disposal of nuclear waste. SADT (Structured Analysis and Design Technique) is used in order to provide a workow description of the functions to be performed by the waste management program. This description is then translated into a number of Co...
متن کاملLaser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy: Application to Nuclear Waste Management
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied to the analysis of simulant slurry samples used in the vitrification process of liquid radioactive wastes. The capability of direct analysis of slurry will significantly increase analytical throughput and will reduce waste generation in radiological analytical facilities, providing analyses suitable for waste acceptance and production reco...
متن کاملPartitioning-transmutation Technology: a Potential Future Nuclear Waste Management Option
Partitioning-transmutation technology (PT) will produce radioactive wastes of different physical and chemical properties and in different amounts from those generated in the current nuclear fuel cycle. To assess quantitatively the effects of PT on waste disposal, we first analyzed the amounts of the PT wastes, assumed conditioning for each type of the waste, and then made an attempt to estimate...
