Development of a Novel Depleted Uranium Treatment Process at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Open
A three-stage process was developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to treat potentially pyrophoric depleted uranium metal wastes. The three-stage process includes waste sorting/rinsing, acid dissolution of the waste metal with a…
Dissolution Treatment of Depleted Uranium Waste Open
Researchers at LLNL have developed a 3-stage process that converts pyrophoric depleted uranium metal turnings to a solidified final product that can be transported to and buried at a permitted land disposal site. The three process stages a…
Hydrologic Resources Management Program and Underground Test Area Project FY 2001-2002 Progress Report Open
This report contains highlights of FY 2001 and 2002 technical studies conducted by the Analytical and Nuclear Chemistry Division (ANCD) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in support of the Hydrologic Resources Management Prog…
Results from the First {sup 249}Cf + {sup 48}Ca Experiment Open
The present paper reports the results of an attempt aimed at the synthesis of element 118 in the reaction {sup 249}Cf({sup 48}Ca,3n){sup 294}118. The experiment was performed employing the Dubna Gas-filled Recoil Separator and the U400 hea…
Non-Observation of the Production of Superheavy Nuclei in the Reaction of $^{86]$Kr with $^{208}$Pb Open
The published claim for the discovery of element 118 is retracted.
Development of a Waste Treatment Process to Deactivate Reactive Uranium Metal and Produce a Stable Waste Form Open
This paper highlights the results of initial investigations conducted to support the development of an integrated treatment process to convert pyrophoric metallic uranium wastes to a non-pyrophoric waste that is acceptable for land disposa…
Electron-capture delayed fission properties of 244Es Open
Electron-capture delayed fission was observed in {sup 244}Es produced via the {sup 237}Np({sup 12}C,5n){sup 244}Es reaction at 81 MeV (on target) with a production cross section of 0.31{+-}0.12 {micro}b. The mass-yield distribution of the …
Mapping of Enhanced Nuclear Stability in the Heaviest Elements Open
Predictions of the properties of nuclides near the extreme limits of nuclear stability provide a measure of our understanding of the fundamental properties of matter and the fission process. Predictions of an ''island of stability'' of lon…
On-line gas chromatographic studies of Rf, Zr, and Hf bromides Open
The Heavy Element Volatility Instrument (HEVI), an on-line isothermal gas chromatography system, has been used to separate the volatile bromide compounds of the group 4 elements Zr and Hf and the transactinide Rf according to their volatil…
