Abstract

Two solvent extraction experiments were made in the Solvent Extraction Test Facility during 1983 using a small batch of low-burnup fuel from the Fast Flux Test Facility reactor as feed. No operational problems were noted in the operation of the extraction-scrubbing contactor, and low uranium and plutonium losses were measured. A noticeable improvement in the fission product decontamination factors was observed when the number of scrub stages was increased from six to eight. Two flowsheet options for making pure uranium and plutonium products were tested.
