The combined effect of nitric acid and hydrocarbon diluent on the radiolytic transformations of tributyl phosphate

Key Points

• Radiolytic transformations significantly alter tributyl phosphate in the presence of both nitric acid and hydrocarbon diluent.
• Key evidence shows that these chemical interactions lead to measurable changes in the molecular structure of tributyl phosphate.
• Observational analysis investigates the combined effects of nitric acid and hydrocarbon diluent on tributyl phosphate under controlled conditions.
• This highlights the importance of understanding chemical interactions for safety assessments in nuclear chemistry.
