Feasibility Study for the Melt-Dilute Treatment of Russian Research and Test Reactor Fuel
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
This report provides a detailed overview of the melt-dilute treatment technology for aluminum-clad, aluminum-based fuels. The melt-dilute treatment technology has been developed at the Savannah River Site to reduce the volume and uranium enrichment of these fuels for the purpose of producing a waste form for ultimate disposal. This report provides an evaluation of the feasibility of adapting the melt-dilute treatment for the complete inventory of spent nuclear fuel from research and test reactors owned by Russia. The inventory of fuels from these reactors include aluminum-clad, aluminum-based fuels, plus other cladding and fuel meat materials that could potentially be treated to achieve a monolithic ingot suitable for long-term storage or disposal.
