PUREX PROCESS FOR PLUTONIUM AND URANIUM RECOVERY

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4165457· OSTI ID:4165457
Labcratory data which indicate that the recovery of Pu and U and decontamination from fission products are feasible in a solvent extraction process using tributyl phosphate are given. The procedure consists of extracting Pu(IV) and U with 15% TBP--85% Varsol using 5.0 N HNO/sub 3/ as a salting agent. (J.R.D.)
