Novel Nanoporous Getters to Immobilize 99Tc at the Yucca Mnt (Mattigod/Felmy/Rosso, Yucka Mtn, PNNL Scope #45873)


EMSL Project ID
11698

Abstract

Paul did some SEM w/ Brad Avery.
Odeta needs ICP-MS.

Kevin Rosso:
Structures of two layered Zr/Tiphosphate type materials will be examined in detail. The first phase is of composition ZrPO4Cl(CH3)SO . We wil develop an experimental protocol for synthesis of this starting material. QM calculations will be benchmarked A series of energy minimization calculations will be performed to assess the energetics for exchange of various anions including pertechnetate into this material.
