Process Equipment Development - Skull Reclamation Process
Description
At the conclusion of the EBR-II melt refining operation, a residue (skull) remains in the processing crucible. A process is being developed for reclaiming the fuel material from the skull and removing fission products from the recovered fuel material. The recovered material is then returned to the melt refining process as make-up material. The skull is initially converted into a free-flowing oxide powder in a skull oxidation furnace, which is now in use in the EBR-II Fuel Cycle Facility (see ANL-6900, pp. 116, 118-120).
