TC-99 Decontaminant from heat treated gaseous diffusion membrane -Phase I, Part B

“…This factor can be obtained from the Paducah Technetium-99 Sampling Results Graph. 6 Early studies 7 showed some removal of technetium from cascade components in the form of barrier material. Additionally, a statistical design set of experiments 8,9 showed removal of technetium at 30 -60% at temperatures below 270 °F.…”
