Removal of actinides from nuclear fuel reprocessing wastes using an organophosphorous extractant. [DHDECMP]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5558328
By removing actinides from nuclear fuel reprocessing wastes, long term waste storage hazards are reduced. A solvent extraction process to remove actinides has been demonstrated in miniature mixer-settlers and in simulated columns using actinide feeds. Nonradioactive pilot plant results have established the feasibility of using pulse columns for the process.
