An economical process was successfully demonstrated in bench-scale continuous equipment for stripping U from amines with ammonium carbonate solution. A continuous countercurrent mixer-settler extraction system was set up for further testing of the process for recovery of Te, Np, and U by tertiary amine extraction from UF/sub 6/ transfer cylinder was solutions. The effect of Purex aqueous feed adjustment procedures on Pu extraction by 1 M di-secbutyl phenylphosphonate (DSBPP) was studied. Work was continued on plutonium(IV) nitrate extraction with TBP and phenylphosphonate esters. The response of Ru/sup 106/ extraction to variations in the treatment of TBP-Amsco 125-82 solvent was tested. Two solvents have shown ability to extract cesium.
