Experimental study of long-term catalytic effect on hydrogen generation G value of water by gamma-ray irradiation and hydrogen diffusion analysis in Compacted Hulls and End-Piece waste

In this study, it was evaluated the long-term catalytic effect and catalyst poisoning effect  of gamma-ray irradiation on zirconium molybdate hydrate in the presence of three-way catalysts. The results indicated that the three-way catalyst was effective in suppressing the increase in hydrogen concentration due to radiolysis without being affected by poisoning. In addition, hydrogen diffus ion analysis of the compressed hull and endpiece waste shows that hydrogen flows well through the waste and is suppressed by a three-way catalyst located in the center of the waste headspace.
