Er in a Zr alloy is expected to act as a burnable poison that reduces the excess reactivi-ty.

Here, we prepared Zr - Er alloys with various Er contents and characterized the phase state, Young’s modulus, and thermal conductivity. The effect of Er content on the thermal and mechanical properties of the alloys was investigated.","PeriodicalId":8595,"journal":{"name":"Atomic Energy Society of Japan","volume":"46 1","pages":"123-127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80369790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In such accidents, volatile radioactive nuclides, such as ruthenium, are released from the tanks into the atmosphere. In addition to the radioactive materials, nitrogen oxides are also released owing to the thermal decomposition of metal nitrates in HALW. The released nitrogen oxides transport volatile ruthenium and cause redox reactions associated with the composition or decomposition of volatile ruthenium. In this study, data of nitrogen oxide release were obtained by heating simulated HALW to 600°C. Data were also obtained for mixed lanthanide solution, mixed lanthanide solution containing zirconium dioxide, and mixed lanthanide solution containing ruthenium dioxide. As a result, the release of nitrogen oxides from the simulated HALW was observed from 200°C to 600°C, and the main release of nitrogen oxides was observed at about 340°C. All the lanthanide nitrates were found to decompose in the simulated HALW, and the thermal decomposition temperature of the lanthanide nitrates decreased after the addition of ruthenium dioxide to the mixed lanthanide nitrate solution.","PeriodicalId":8595,"journal":{"name":"Atomic Energy Society of Japan","volume":"14 1","pages":"86-94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81898569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
