The Savannah River Site (SRS) processes used-nuclear fuel to recover uranium. There are many interesting fission products lost in the raffinate from this separation including ¹⁴⁷Pm. Here, the goal of this work was to recover ¹⁴⁷Pm from SRS waste solutions. A radiochemical separation method typically used for the determination of ¹⁴⁷Pm and ¹⁵¹Sm was modified to purify significant quantities of ¹⁴⁷Pm from the H Canyon waste solutions. The developed scheme was tested on a small aliquot of waste solution from the processing of used fuel from the High Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
