Uranium Chemistry Tutorial
December 8, 2020|10:30AM–12:00PM (11:30AM–1:00PM EST)
Available to 2020 ANS Virtual Winter Meeting Attendees
ANS Members, please log in to watch this webinar.
This is part four of a nine-part tutorial series exclusively available to 2020 ANS Winter Meeting attendees.
Examples where chemistry has unexpectedly impinged (or might have impinged) on criticality control are explored.
Case 1: How poor engineering altered the chemistry of a dissolver system and caused an unexpected criticality hazard… or how a lack of engineering know-how fooled the chemists.
Case 2: How a criticality safety improvement made things less safe as chemistry triumphed over physics.
Case 3: How chemistry fooled even the chemists.
Presenter
Howard Greenwood, National Nuclear Laboratory, UK
