Prospects for using reactor palladium for 129I immobilization

  • Published:
Radiochemistry Aims and scope

Abstract

The efficiency and application prospects of various methods for Pd recovery from solutions of various compositions are reviewed. Particular attention is given to the problem of the recovery of reactor Pd with the aim of its use for reprocessing of radiochemical production wastes (e.g., for immobilization of 129I and/or TPE). The results of experiments on the synthesis of Pd-based formulations incorporating PdI2 are described. Incorporation of 129I into a Pd matrix allows preparation of a material with a low leach rate, suitable for long-term safe storage.
