4.0 Solids; Metals
Little effect:
Mass of the sample
Area to volume ratio
Gas flow rates
Gas chemistry by itself (complex alloy interactions)
Significant effect:
Tumbling of reaction products through the gas
stream
Temperature
Fraction decreases up to around 1500C (oxide
sintering)
Fraction increases at higher temperatures (Pu
vaporization)
Alloying of the Pu
Chemical state of the Pu
Unknowns:
Processes at high temperature
Broader experience with alloying
Age of Pu
Helium
Americium
Optimum firefighting and cleanup techniques
