Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4692951· OSTI ID:4692951
Laboratory and engineering scale studies on the dissolution of irradiated oxide fuels in a molten chloride salt solution, and recovery of U, Th, and Pu as their oxides by appropriate electrochemical or chemical reactions are described. Exploratory studies on the preparation of PuC/sub 2/-UO/sub 2/, PuO/ sub 2/-- ThO/sub 2/, and UO/sub 2/-- ThO/sub 2/ solid solutions b y reaction in molten chloride salt solutions are also discussed.
