Description
Rare-metals and rare-earths produced by fission reaction of uranium 235 in nuclear reactors and consequently contained in spent fuels are considered as potential resources for strategic material in many fields of recent industry. The report consists of several contributed papers concerning with possible utility of such fission products as ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, technetium, and neodymium, and with their recovery and separation from spent fuels as well as possible utilization of actinides and long-lived radioactive elements as radiation sources. To conclude, the present report proposes a new national strategy study to reorient the present scheme of reprocessing of spent fuels and radioactive waste disposal from a new perspective. (S. Ohno)
