Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

The kinetics of radiation, thermal, and radiation–thermal decomposition of a mixture of nitric and acetic acids in water solutions of sodium nitrate is investigated under homogeneous conditions and with a solid phase introduced in the form of sandstone. The experimental data are used to calculate the temperature dependences of the rate of radiation, thermal, and radiation–thermal decomposition of the acids. The results obtained make it possible to calculate the dynamics of decomposition of acids for the conditions of deep burial of liquid radioactive wastes.
