Thermoanalytical investigation of the reactions causing the transuranic waste drum breach that occurred in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant

[Display omitted] •Self-sustaining reactions between drum waste components start at room temperature.•Dry mixtures of nitric acid and wheat-based pet litter can lead to thermal runaway.•Hydrogen- and hydrogen-metal-triethanolamine nitrates react violently above 200°C.•Water inhibits low temperature...
