[Report on] The Recovery of Cesium-137 From Oak Ridge National Laboratory [ORNL] Radiochemical Waste, October 12, 1950Location: Active:
Originating Office: ORNL for the Atomic Energy Commission Finding Aids: Classified index Disposition AuthorityUnscheduled Series Description: This 1950 report describes experiments which resulted in a method of removing cesium-137 from ORNL radiochemical waste solutions by a "cocrystalization" ("carrying") process using potassium aluminum sulfates. This method was easier to use than others that are briefly mentioned and removed high quantities of cesium from the waste. The report summarizes the steps taken in the experiments and makes final recommendations about the potential success of the procedure.
