Application of ion exchange technology to nuclide separation and isotope separation in nuclear energy chemistry

Many kinds of chemical operations are required in the nuclear engineering field, regardless fission or fusion engineerings. The chemical filed supported in this nuclear engineering is called as the nuclear energy chemistry. The nuclide separation and isotope separation are ones of the most important and most necessary techniques for the nuclear fuel cycle engineering, the reactor chemical engineering, etc. among the nuclear engineering field. I have been studying the application of ion exchange to the nuclide separation and the isotope separation in the nuclear energy chemistry. In the present paper, this application is introduced.
