Demonstration of a CMPO based extraction process in hot cells for the separation of minor actinides from fast reactor fuel solution

  • 1. Fuel Chemistry Division, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam (India)

Description

Efficient recovery of minor actinides (MA) from a fast reactor dissolver solution (155 GWd/Te) has been successfully demonstrated using a TRUEX solvent and novel 16-stage ejector mixer settler in hot cells. Stripping of trivalents (Ln (III) + An(III)) from loaded TRUEX solvent by citric acid formulation in a batch mode was performed as a prelude to the demonstration run. Separation of trivalents were quantitative and the extracted trivalents were quantitatively stripped with citric acid formulation. Among the non-lanthanides only ruthenium was co-extracted into the product stream. (author)
