Abstract
Causes of the initiation of exothermic processes in nitric acid solutions containing reductants are analyzed. The required parameters of the occurring exothermic reactions are determined. The main conditions of the explosion safety of solution evaporation operations in commercial evaporators at radiochemical plants are formulated. The radiolysis of mixtures increases the onset temperature Tst of the exothermic reaction, and uranyl nitrate does not affect Tst. The explosion safety in evaporation of reductant solutions can be ensured even if their heating is accompanied by various exothermic reactions.
