Reprocessing of nuclear fuels
Journal Article
·
· Sci. Am.; (United States)
This survey of nuclear fuel reprocessing begins with a description of the composition of spent fuels and of the treatment and storage of radioactive wastes. A discussion of technology and engineering design for reprocessing plants is accompanied by schematic diagrams of equipment and processes; and an account is given of attempts to build and operate the plants. Safety considerations, environmental aspects, and public opinion of the various methods of waste treatment are discussed. (DDA)
