Abstract

Based on the results of process studies described, and with the assistance of the industrial teams with equipment design, process design and scale-up optimization tests are continuing to evaluate the chlorination process using dry Cl2 as the reagent. The objective is to produce a recycled zirconium product that can be reused for nuclear fuel cladding manufacture.
