Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4172376· OSTI ID:4172376
The Zircaloy-clad fuels and the application of the Zirflex Process for dissolution are discussed. Zirflex chemical flowsheets are presented as developed by pilot plant operatlons. The Zirflex Process is applicable to the reprocessing of fuels from the Dresden Reactor and the PWR Reactor. Other applications of the process are the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor fuels and the New Production Reactor fuels, possible fuels from the Experimental Breeder Reactor; NPD-2 fuels; and fuels from Carolina-Virginia Nuclear Power Associates Reactor.
