IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO THE SEPARATION OF TECHNETIUM FROM FISSION PRODUCT SOLUTIONS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4840398
A method is given for separating Tc from fission product solutions arising in the processing of irradiated nuclear fuel. An acidified nitrate solution of fission products is made alkaline with NaOH, the alkaline solution is passed through a strongly basic anion exchange resin, and Tc is eluted from the resin with HNO/sub 3/. The eluate may be purified further from Fe, Cr, and Ru by complexing the Fe as a tartrate, making the solution alkaline, and extracting the Tc with methyl ethyl ketone. (D.L.C.)
