Description

Studies on the treatment of spent nuclear fuel for MOX fuel fabrication at advanced cycles is presented. A modified Purex process, employing the electrolytic mixer-settler MIRELE, developed at IPEN-CNEN/SP, in the U-Pu stripping to the aqueous phase and recovery of Pu traces from organic phase, was studied. The obtained results have demonstrated the viability of using the proposed flowsheet in the nuclear fuel recycling. (author). 9 refs, 10 figs
