Title: Pyro-chemistry assessment at CEA - Last experimental results

Abstract

Initially assessed in the frame of the first French act on radioactive waste management (Dec. 91), the pyro-technology is now perceived by the Nuclear Energy Directorate of the Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique (CEA) as a potential alternative to hydrometallurgy in two applications: (i) reprocessing of irradiated targets or dedicated fuels used for the minor actinides transmutation, (ii) reprocessing of Generation IV spent nuclear fuels (e.g. carbide fuel proposed for Gas cooled Fast Reactor or oxide fuel proposed for Sodium Fast Reactor). The R and D program is now mainly focused on the latter application. This paper gives the last experimental results on actinides/fission products separation assessment in molten fluorides either by chemical reductive extraction or electrolysis. (authors)
