Abstract

Review of Motivations: Molybdenum (Mo) isotopes found in HALEU fuels, space reactor applications, fission product inventories; 95 Mo is one of the 15 main absorbing fission products in light water reactors; New differential measurements of isotopic Mo cross sections in unresolved resonance region (URR) from RPI need validation; New and future Mo cross sections from IRSN and JAEA at J-PARC need validation; There are few benchmarks sensitive to Mo; Only one intermediate benchmark.

Novel Method for Domestic Stable Isotope Production (CRADA #667) Final Report

This report presents the progress achieved on our chlorine isotope separation efforts in the CRADA #667 agreement. We used a microchannel distillation (MCD) packing structure to enrich HCl isotopes (H35Cl, H37Cl) and an isotachophoresis (ITP) separation to enrich ionic chloride species (35Cl- and 37Cl-). A 2 m tall MCD column was constructed and achieved 264 separation stages over several days, which is well above the goal of 50 stages outlined in the CRADA. The resulting height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) was 0.76 cm. ITP tests were run ~ 24 hours and achieved a single-stage separation factor of 1.559.
