Preliminary resins studied “TRU-like” resins – CMPO and TBP coated on a polymer support Extraction ChromatographyResin Development and Testing Static conditions were used to determine the resin capacity for Eu -as a homolog for Am Eu breakthrough on a column was measured to determine the dynamic capacity Eu and Am have been separated at unequal and equal concentrations UNLV Deep BurnRepository Performance Tasks (You???) Project Summary SNF Source Term Models Based on LWR Fuel Cladding Failure UO2 Dissolution Kinetic Release Model Particle Size Surface Area Release to Near Field TRISO Fuel Small oxide particles Intrinsic Transport Barrier Goal: Develop Source Term Model for TRISO fuels Predicting Repository PerformanceWork Planned at UNLV TRISO Repository Behavior Actinide Sorption to Graphite Determination of Equilibrium Sorption Evaluation of Sorption Kinetics Degradation of Irradiated Graphite Evaluation of Degradation Rate for Irradiated Graphite Determination of Degradation Mechanisms TRISO Fuel Performance Modeling Develop Source Term Model Sorption-controlled release vs. degradation of graphite matrix? Equilibrium Sorption vs. Desorption-kinetics controlled release? Implement Model for Performance Assessment Conclusions Focusing on extraction chromatography protocols Simple, high selectivity, fast kinetics, lower waste stream volume, and automatable Environmental sorption studies Microbial activity should be considered for actinide transport Sequential extraction studies will be conducted to investigate actinide sorption in soils Develop more efficient methods for the isolation/separation of actinides in various matrices Lessons from bone ash can be applied to cement and other construction materials CONCLUSIONS Basic Science Applications Develop new resins for actinide separations Develop methods suited for heavy element chemistry Emergency Response Developing an automatable radioanalytical protocol Testing chromatography method on samples containing WG-P
