Abstract
Changes of the extraction behaviour and cation-transport of U(VI) and Pu(IV) nitrates with gamma-irradiated DC18C6 in toluene have been inve stigated. The effect of radiation damage to DC18C6 for extraction and permeation at excessively higher doses (70 Mrads) has been studied sys tematically. No deterioration in its performance is noted at lower dos es. Hydrolytic stability of the macrocycle/diluent system in the prese nce of nitric acid and radiolytic stability of immobilized liquid memb rane using 'Enka' Accurel flat sheet polypropylene membrane films as s olid support are also examined.
