| Abstract Scope |
Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) is the applied research and development laboratory at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Savannah River Site (SRS). The laboratory applies innovative science to provide practical, high-value, cost-effective solutions to complex technical problems. This talk presents an overview of state-of-the-art composite materials and analytical techniques used to detect and capture radionuclides in nuclear facilities, including Zn-65, Tc-99, etc. I will conclude this presentation by highlighting studies focused on airborne release fraction and respirable fraction from postulated free-fall spills in DOE nuclear facilities. |
