Zirconium Sludge Criticality Calculations in Large Process Tanks
Abstract
The Savannah River Site’s H-Canyon facility has been tasked with accelerating the disposition of used research reactor fuels. • Future missions will involve dissolution of “Non-Aluminum” clad fuels – not easily dissolved – Nitric acid is not capable of dissolving stainless steel, Zirconium, and Hastelloy, clad fuels by itself • The electrolytic dissolver has been (re) selected as a disposition path for these fuels. 2
