Description

This paper surveys progress in irradiated fuel reprocessing and waste management at the BNFL Sellafield Site. Magnox fuel reprocessing is reviewed and oxide fuel reprocessing, due to commence in the early 1990's is compared with existing practices. Both fuel types will be reprocessed, in parallel. The paper describes how Magnox fuel reprocessing will be sustained by recent additions of new plant and shows how waste management downstream of reprocessing, will be integrated across the Sellafield Site
