【 摘 要 】

Testing was performed to define technical issues that may impact long-term viability of the segregation strategy for processing and storing evaporator concentrates. The primary concern is increased potential for nuclear criticality from uranium accumulation. This statistically designed testing examines the fate of uranium when Al and Si rich concentrates are either purposefully or inadvertently combined.
