Application of the electrometallurgical treatment technique to long-term disposition of DOE spent fuel

  • 1. Argonne National Lab., IL (United States)

Description

The electrometallurgical treatment provides a flexible way to prepare the DOE spent-fuel types that require stabilization for long-term repository disposal. The process produces a standard set of stable waste forms from a wide variety of input fuel types and conditions. It is currently being demonstrated on a large scale on actual EBR-II spent fuel and has also been demonstrated on other simulated fuel types, including TMI-2 fuel debris and the MSRE salt on a smaller scale
