Experiences of reprocessing of plutonium-rich mixed carbide fuels
- 1. Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam (India). Reprocessing Group
Description
Mixed carbide (70 % Pu, 30 % U) spent fuels up to a burn up of 155 GWd/Te and a cooling time of around 2 years discharged from the Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR) were successfully reprocessed at COmpact Reprocessing of Advanced fuels in Lead shielded (CORAL) facility in India at Kalpakkam. The operational experience accumulated is translated to design of the future reprocessing plants such as Demonstration Fast Reactor Fuel Reprocessing Plant (DFRP) and Fast Reactor Fuel Reprocessing Plant (FRP). Concurrent R and D activities have been conducted to optimize process steps for reprocessing fast reactor fuels. (author)
