Division Spotlight
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

The adsorption of simulated fission products on slurries of ThO2-UO3 mixtures has been studied. Experiments were performed using tracer techniques employing slurries which had been previously pumped in order that the condition of the slurry as well as concentration of the fission products, temperature, and pressure might simulate reactor conditions. Results of some preliminary experiments designed to remove fission products by the use of eluting agents are also reported.
