Abstract

A project is in progress within the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative program, including collaborative process design through the U.S. DOE-CEA (France) technical exchange, to develop the UREX+ co-decontamination solvent extraction process that will simultaneously separate a uranium product, a plutonium-neptunium product, and a technetium product from the minor actinides and fission products (high-level waste) contained in LWR spent fuel. Development of optimum flowsheet conditions is based on experimental tests, technical literature studies, calculations, using computer models, and confirming demonstration tests.
