IFR electrorefining process
Description
A metallic fuel alloy, which is a key element of the IFR fuel cycle, permits the use of pyrochemical processing of the spent fuel. Electrorefining with molten salt electrolytes is a key step in the pyroprocess because the actinides are recovered, separated from the fission products present in the spent fuel in this operation and then recycled for use as fuel. Chemical and electrochemical aspects of the electrorefining method is to be described. (author)
