The Savannah River Site (SRS) produced tritium, plutonium, and special nuclear materials for national defense, medicine, and the space programs. As part of operations, the F-Area Seepage Basins operated until 1988 for the disposition of deionized acidic wastewater from the F Separations Facility. The wastewater contained dilute nitric acid and low concentrations of non-radioactive metals, and radionuclides, with the major isotopes being Cs-137, Sr-90, U-235, U-238, Pu-239, Tc-99, I-129, and tritium. The seepage basins were closed in 1988 and backfilled and capped by 1991. The groundwater emanating from beneath the closed and capped seepage basins is acidic and contains elevated levels of both chemical and radiological contaminants. Releases from the groundwater plumes sourced from the F-Area Seepage Basins have impacted the water quality of Fourmile Branch, which is a small tributary to the Savannah River, a regional water source. A large pump-and-treat system was constructed in 1997 and operated until 2003 in an attempt to capture the releases to Fourmile Branch. The system in F Area and a similar system in H Area were expensive (∼$1.3 M/month) to operate and produced large quantities of radioactive waste, with concentrations of I- 129 too high to be disposed of at the SRS. In 2004, SRS replaced pump-and-treat with a funnel and gate system that along with operation of a base injection system at the gates reduces the flux of contaminants to the wetlands adjacent to Fourmile Branch. The alkaline solution injected into the aquifer neutralizes the acidic plume and immobilizes many of the cationic constituents. However, base injection is not effective in managing the release of iodine-129, an anionic contaminant. To address iodine-129 SRS and the Savannah River National Laboratory developed an in situ technology that uses ultra-fine ground silver chloride (AgCl) as an injectable capture medium for the sequestration of iodine-129. The AgCl amendment has a very small particle size and is designed to be injected into the contaminated aquifer to capture iodine-129. Dissolved iodine-129 forms a stable and highly insoluble solid (silver iodide) upon contact with AgCl. Laboratory studies, a field scale pilot test (2009), and three deployments (2011, 2015 and 2019) of AgCl have been successfully performed at the F-Area Seepage Basins. (authors)

The ternary silver halides CH 3 NH 3 AgBr 2 and CH 3 NH 3 Ag 2 I 3 are low-dimensional, wide band gap semiconductors made up of edge-sharing silver halide tetrahedra.
The solderability of MetGlas TM (subsidiary of Hitachi Metals, America Ltd) 2826 MB, a rapidly solidified metallic foil, was evaluated by the meniscus height/wetting force method for tin-silver-copper (SnAgCu) and tin-silver-bismuth (SnAgBi) solders to understand the effects of the extreme non-equilibrium condition of the MetglasTM surface on solderability performance. Of the variables studied here (solder temperature, heat treatment, and solder composition), solder composition had the largest impact on contact angle. Flux and foil composition remained constant throughout; but, these factors would also be predicted to significantly affect solderability. A greater understanding of the manner whereby non-equilibrium cooling affects solderability of these foils will broaden the application of soldering technology of structures fabricated by rapid cooling process (i.e. additively manufactured coatings and parts). Developing a robust database for Pb-free solderability behavior is also necessary, as industry transitions from tin-lead (SnPb) to lead free (Pb-free) solders.
In silver-zinc cells, an auxiliary silver electrode is electrically connected to the positive terminal only during discharge. This eliminates the two-step discharge characteristic of such cells.
