PYROPROCESSING FLOWSHEETS FOR RECYCLING USED NUCLEAR FUEL
Two conceptual flowsheets were developed for recycling used nuclear fuel. One flowsheet was developed for recycling used oxide nuclear fuel from light water reactors while the other was developed for recycling used metal fuel from fast spectrum reactors. Both flowsheets were developed from a set of...

| Zusammenfassung: | Two conceptual flowsheets were developed for recycling used nuclear fuel. One flowsheet was developed for recycling used oxide nuclear fuel from light water reactors while the other was developed for recycling used metal fuel from fast spectrum reactors. Both flowsheets were developed from a set of design principles including efficient actinide recovery, nonproliferation,waste minimization and commercial viability. Process chemistry is discussed for each unit operation in the flowsheet. KCI Citation Count: 37 |
