Texas A&M University - Galveston proposes to 1) measure radioiodine speciation to provide information that will be used in the development of species-specific stabilization technologies. The systems include cement waste, tank simulant, ALPS waste streams, and Fukushima groundwater, 2) develop stabilization strategies, including sorbents and carbonate coprecipitation, 3) evaluate further the most effective sorbents, including batch tests, column tests, standard diffusion tests, spectroscopy, and microscopy. Also a multi-year field demonstration will be conducted at an existing radionuclide field test-bed facility, and 4) develop an engineering tool for designing treatment systems.
