Objective
THE INFLUENCE OF THE ORGANIC COMPLEXING AGENTS DBP, TBP, EDTA, CITRATE AND OXALATE ON THE SOLUBILITY, SORPTION BEHAVIOUR AND MIGRATION OF THE ELEMENTS IODINE, CESIUM, URANIUM, NEPTUNIUM, PLUTONIUM AND AMERICIUM HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED IN ORDER TO OBTAIN DATA RELEVANT TO SAFETY ASPECTS OF ILW REPOSITORIES. THESE SYNTHETIC ORGANICS ARE PRODUCTS RESULTING FROM FUEL ELEMENT FABRICATION, SPENT FUEL PROCESSING AND FROM CHEMICAL PROCEDURES PERFORMED IN LABORATORIES.
LEACHING EXPERIMENTS ON THE REAL AND SIMULATED ILW FORMS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED FOR COMPARING THEM WITH THOSE DATA, OBTAINED FROM THE COMPOUNDS AFOREMENTIONED. WITHIN THE FRAME OF THIS PROJECT THE MATRICES CEMENT AND BITUMEN USED FOR VITRIFICATION HAVE ALSO BEEN TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.
The influence of the synthetic organic complexing agents dibutylphosphate, tributylphosphate, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, citrate and oxalate on the solubilities, the migration and the sorption behaviour of the elements iodine, caesium, uranium, neptunium, plutonium and americium was investigated in electrolyte solutions which represented the conditions of the near field of a waste repository in a salt dome after an intrusion of brines.
