| 31. | A typical transmuter fuel is free from uranium and contains recovered transuranics in an inert matrix such as metallic zirconium.
|
| 32. | Thus, removing the transuranics from the waste eliminates much of the long-term radioactivity of spent nuclear fuel.
|
| 33. | This plutonium and the other transuranics remained immobile until the present day, a span of almost 2 billion years.
|
| 34. | Like all synthetic transuranic elements, isotopes of einsteinium are very radioactive and are considered highly dangerous to health on ingestion.
|
| 35. | Hanford accepted about 40 barrels of transuranic waste from Ohio and California before Washington state sued in March to stop the shipments.
|
| 36. | It is primarily composed of unconverted uranium as well as significant quantities of transuranic actinides ( plutonium and curium, mostly ).
|
| 37. | Urine samples are the standard way to measure tritium intake, while fecal samples are the standard way to measure transuranic intake.
|
| 38. | Still unresolved is whether the state has jurisdiction to regulate transuranic waste, one of the issues at the heart of the disagreement.
|
| 39. | The transuranic elements from americium to fermium occurred naturally in the natural nuclear fission reactor at Oklo, but no longer do so.
|
| 40. | Trace transuranics ( another indicator of the use of reprocessed material ) have been reported to be present in some US tank armor.
