ANS is committed to advancing, fostering, and promoting the development and application of nuclear sciences and technologies to benefit society.
Explore the many uses for nuclear science and its impact on energy, the environment, healthcare, food, and more.
Division Spotlight
Operations & Power
Members focus on the dissemination of knowledge and information in the area of power reactors with particular application to the production of electric power and process heat. The division sponsors meetings on the coverage of applied nuclear science and engineering as related to power plants, non-power reactors, and other nuclear facilities. It encourages and assists with the dissemination of knowledge pertinent to the safe and efficient operation of nuclear facilities through professional staff development, information exchange, and supporting the generation of viable solutions to current issues.

Densities and water contents of nearly dry and of water-saturated TBP-Amsco 125-82 solutions were measured. From these the molar volumes of TBP and this diluent were calculated to be 273.6 and 246.4 ml, respectively, in the pure dry state. Within experimental accuracy, the molar volume of water was 18 ml in all solutions. Using this value for water, the molar volume of nitric acid in TBP-Amsco 125-82-HNO3-H2O solutions was calculated, from data previously presented (1), to be between 40.9 and 43.7 ml, the specific value depending on the TBP/diluent ratio. Solutions of TBP and the diluent are nearly ideal with respect to additivity of volumes, the maximum deviation from ideality being ∼0.4%, or ∼1 ml per mole of solution based on a diluent gram molecular weight of 185. The water content of TBP saturated with water at 25°C corresponds to a mole ratio .
