A process for the recovery of Cs/sup 137/ from fission product wastes is described. The process is based on the entrainment of cesium by alum, and it differs from the usual procedures in that the alum crystallization is carried out in alcoholic medium. It is, therefore, unnecessary to heat the solution and then to cool it for the alum crystallization. Decontamination factors of up to 108 are attained in a single co-crystallization, which is carried out in a very simple operation. Six times less alum is used than in the procedure where it is necessary to heat the solution. (auth)
