Pilot Scale Validation of a Chemical Process for Uranium, Cesium, and Mercury Recovery from Cemented Radioactive Wastes

The medical isotope (Mo-99) production at Chalk River Laboratory involves the dissolution of irradiated isotope targets prior to the extraction of Mo-99. This process generates a waste that is cemented in 5-gallon containers and transferred to a waste-management facility for intermediate storage. Ov...
