DOE saves $1.7M transferring robotics from Portsmouth to Oak Ridge
The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management said it has transferred four robotic demolition machines from the department’s Portsmouth Site in Ohio to Oak Ridge, Tenn., saving the office more than $1.7 million by avoiding the purchase of new equipment.

In current salt-free flow sheets, U(IV) is used as a reductant in reductive partitioning of U-Pu. Because U(IV)-tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) solvate has a low solubility in the organic phase, quantitative knowledge of U(IV) distribution behavior is important. Published data on U(IV) distribution between an aqueous nitric acid and 30% TBP/n-dodecane biphasic system at 298.15 K is analyzed, and an empirical model is reported. Performance of this model is compared with one earlier published model.
