New Technology and Hardware for Reprocessing Spent Nuclear Fuel from Thermal Reactors

New and modified technological and hardware solutions for reprocessing spent nuclear fuel from thermal reactors are described. The solutions developed form the foundation for a new technological scheme for reprocessing, termed the EKSKhROM-process. Verification data on the reprocessing of spent VVER...

More Information
Summary:New and modified technological and hardware solutions for reprocessing spent nuclear fuel from thermal reactors are described. The solutions developed form the foundation for a new technological scheme for reprocessing, termed the EKSKhROM-process. Verification data on the reprocessing of spent VVER-1000 fuel are presented and the characteristics of the products of reprocessing are presented. It is shown that the uranium and plutonium products are suitable for recycling in a closed nuclear fuel cycle.
