OECD NEA meeting focuses on irradiation experiments
Members of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency’s Second Framework for Irradiation Experiments (FIDES-II) joint undertaking gathered from September 29 to October 3 in Ketchum, Idaho, for the technical advisory group and governing board meetings hosted by Idaho National Laboratory. The FIDES-II Framework aims to ensure and foster competences in experimental nuclear fuel and structural materials in-reactor experiments through a diverse set of Joint Experimental Programs (JEEPs).

A nonlinear optimization program was used to fit the model equation to the experimental equilibrium data of a thorium-nitrate/nitric-acid-1-M di-n-heptyl sulfoxide (DHPSO) 1,1,2-trichloroethane (TCE) system successfully. The extraction equilibrium curves for this system obey Langmuir type. The product of parameters A and K is the maximum extraction distribution coefficient that can be used to compare the extraction power of 1 M DHPSO-TCE with respect to Th(NO3)4 at various aqueous acidities.
