In boiling and drying accidents involving high-level liquid waste in fuel reprocessing plants, emphasis is placed on the behavior of ruthenium (Ru). Ru would form volatile species, such as ruthenium tetroxide (RuO), and could be released to the environment with coexisting gases, including nitric acid, water, or nitrogen oxides. In this study, to contribute toward safety evaluations of these types of accidents, the migration behavior of gaseous Ru into the liquid phase has been experimentally measured by simulating the condensate during an accident. The gas absorption of RuO
was enhanced by increasing the nitrous acid (HNO
) concentration in the liquid phase, indicating the occurrence of chemical absorption. In control experiments without HNO
, the lower the temperature, the greater was the Ru recovery ratio in the liquid phase. Conversely, in experiments with HNO
, the higher the temperature, the higher the recovery ratio, suggesting that the reaction involved in chemical absorption was activated at higher temperatures.

Considering the boiling and drying accident of high-level liquid waste in fuel reprocessing plant, Ruthenium (Ru) is an important element. It is because Ru would form volatile compounds such as ruthenium tetroxide (RuO) and could be released into the environment with other coexisting gasses such as nitric oxides (NOx) such as nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO
). To contribute to the safety evaluation of this accident, we experimentally evaluated the effect of NOx on the decomposition and chemical change behavior of the gaseous RuO
(RuO
(g)). As a result, the RuO
(g) decomposed over time under the atmospheric gasses with NO or NO
, however, the decomposition rate was slower than the results of experiments without NOx. These results showed that the NOx stabilized RuO
(g).
