RECOVERY OF NEPTUNIUM FROM PUREX WASTE BY AN AGITATED BED OF ANION EXCHANGE RESIN

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4690460
Data are presented for the absorption of thorium and neptunium from synthetic waste concentrate of the Purex'' process by a miniature agitated bed of anion exchange resin. The behavior of neptunium indicated that efficient recovery should be obtained from Purex high activity waste concentrate by this technique. A method was developed for calculating absorption losses from agitated beds of resin. The predicted losses were in excellent agreement with experimental results. (auth)
