Evaluating Actinide Sorption To Graphite With Regards To Triso Repository Performance, Corey Christopher Keith Aug 2012

Evaluating Actinide Sorption To Graphite With Regards To Triso Repository Performance, Corey Christopher Keith

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

Graphite has the potential for inclusion in nuclear waste for disposal in waste repository settings. Implementation of High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors contributes to this potential through use of TRISO fuel, if direct disposal of the graphite matrix surrounding the fuel is employed. The inclusion of the large mass and volume in the TRISO fuel waste form differs significantly from used light water reactor fuel waste forms, requiring new performance models to describe the behavior in a repository setting. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for the graphite to improve actinide, specifically uranium and neptunium, retardation from …
