Abstract
Effects of ionizing radiations on organic ion exchangers are recognized as a vexing problem in the processing of special nuclear materials and high specific activity radioactive waste forms. An extensive literature survey, started in 1976 and updated periodically, indicates that radiation decomposition of ion exchange materials has the potential for a variety of undesirable consequences. It is also apparent from this survey that systematic efforts to identify and resolve these problems and to develop radiation resistant ion exchangers are extremely limited. There is, however, widely scattered information in the literature that is useful in designing and operating ion-exchange-based process systems with reasonable assurance of safety. The compilation of experimental data presented in this paper can contribute to better design and safer operations of synthetic organic ion exchange systems at nuclear material processing facilities.
