Electrorefining in Molten LiCl-KCl Using Solid Aluminium Cathodes at JRC-Karlsruhe
Creators
Description
The pyrochemical reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel developed at JRC-Karlsruhe is based on electrorefining in molten LiCl-KCl bath using reactive solid aluminium cathodes because a major focus is on the separation of all actinides (An) from FPs. In this process, electroseparation of An from FPs is carried out in a LiCl-KCl molten salt at 450°C by applying a constant current between the metallic fuel contained in a tantalum basket and an aluminium cathode.
