140,142 Cerium Resolved Resonance Region Evaluation [Slides]

Abstract

The presentation covers an overview of 140,142 Ce Isotopes, including new evaluations of 140,142 Ce that were requested by the Hanford Plutonium Finishing plant to the Nuclear Criticality Safety Program. It also discusses current ENDF/B-VIII.0 evaluation, which has an error in the 1-2 keV range. It was evaluated using multi-level Breit-Wigner and 142Ce has room for extending resolved resonance region current upper limit from 13 keV. The presentation also discusses new transmission and capture measurements of nat Ce and 142 Ce from Klaus Guber. It also states that no known integral experiments prominently feature Cerium.

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.
