PURIFICATION OF NUCLEAR REACTOR FUELS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4034896
A method for removing fission products from liquid metal reactor fuels in which the fissionable material consists predominantly of plutonium is described. The process consists of placing at least one immiscible liquid metal in contact with the liquid fuel and allowing the immiscible liquid metal to remain in contact with the fuel until at least part of the fission products have transferred to the immiscible liquid metal. The immiscible liquid metal is characterized by its affinity for fission products. The liquid metal is silver, lanthanum, alkaline earth metal, or alkali metal. (N.W.R.)
