High-level nuclear waste produced from fuel reprocessing operations at the Savannah River Site (SRS) requires pretreatment to remove 134,137Cs, 90Sr, and alpha-emitting radionuclides (i.e., actinides) prior to disposal onsite as low level waste. The separation processes at SRS include the sorption of 90Sr and alpha-emitting radionuclides onto monosodium titanate (MST) and caustic side solvent extraction of 137Cs. The MST and separated 137Cs is encapsulated along with the sludge fraction of high-level waste (HLW) into a borosilicate glass waste form for eventual entombment at a federal repository. The predominant alpha-emitting radionuclides in the highly alkaline waste solutions include plutonium isotopes 238Pu, 239Pu, and 240Pu; 237Np; and uranium isotopes, 235U and 238U. This article describes recent results evaluating the performance of an improved sodium titanate material that exhibits increased removal kinetics and capacity for 90Sr and alpha-emitting radionuclides compared to the current baseline material, MST.
