This publication presents results of work performed under the National HTGR Fuel Recycle Program Thorium Utilization Program. The work reported includes the development of unit processes and equipment for reprocessing of HTGR fuel and the design and development of an integrated line to demonstrate the head end of HTGR reprocessing using unirradiated fuel materials. Work is also described on the development of the conceptual design of recycle facilities to identify the requirements of large-scale recycle of HTGR fuels and to incorporate the results of these studies in guidance of development activities for HTGR fuel recycle.
