The NO{sub x} system in nuclear waste. Annual report

The authors highlight their results from the title project. The project is a coordinated effort of the three Co-PIs to assist the Safety Programs at the Hanford and other DOE Environmental Management Sites. They present in the report their observations and interactively discuss their implications for safety concerns. They focus on three issues: (1) reducing radicals in the NO{sub x} system; (2) aging of organic chelators and their degradation products by NO{sub 2}; and (3) interfacial processes in aqueous suspensions. The goal of this project is to establish the chemistry and physics that dominate the radiolytically initiated processes that occur in waste tanks across the DOE complex
