Disposal of radioactive waste from nuclear weapons production and power generation has caused public outcry and political consternation. Nuclear Wastes presents a critical review of some waste management and disposal alternatives to the current national policy of direct disposal of light water reactor spent fuel. The book offers clearcut conclusions for what the nation should do today and what solutions should be explored for tomorrow. The committee examines the currently used "once-through" fuel cycle versus different alternatives of separations and transmutation technology systems, by which hazardous radionuclides are converted to nuclides that are either stable or radioactive with short half-lives. The volume provides detailed findings and conclusions about the status and feasibility of plutonium extraction and more advanced separations technologies, as well as three principal transmutation concepts for commercial reactor spent fuel. The book discusses nuclear proliferation; the U.S. nuclear regulatory structure; issues of health, safety and transportation; the proposed sale of electrical energy as a means of paying for the transmutation system; and other key issues.

Processes are described for the recovery of cesium137 from Purex type, first cycle waste solutions which result from the solvent extraction reprocessing of reactor fuels. Flowsheets are presented for recovering cesium from neutralized wastes by coprecititation with zinc ferrocyanide or from acidic solution by precipitation with zinc ferricyanide or zinc cobalticyanide. Further processing converts the cesium to cesium chloride, a stable form suitable for use in high intensity gamma irradiation sources. Modification of the cesium recovery process enables isolation of other valuable products including rare earths, cerium-144, and strontium-90 activities. Experience at Hanford Atomic Products Operation in the use of similar procedures for rge to the ground is described. A comparison of objectives and gested for fission product recovery is made. The effect of recovering certain fission products, particularly longlived nuclides, from effluents on temporary or long term storage or disposal of the effluent is discussed. (auth).
