DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/757628· OSTI ID:757628
The americium and curium currently stored in F-canyon will be vitrified using a batch process that uses an oxalate precipitation process to remove nitrate from the melter feed. This process has been demonstrated and tested on lab-scale, as well as full-scale processes. The flowsheets developed for recovery from upset conditions were successfully demonstrated.
