Description

The paper describes the United Kingdom's operational experience in Fast Reactor fuel reprocessing. Since 1980 the Dounreay Plant has reprocessed 17.2 tonnes fuel (3 tonnes of Pu) to 17.6 % burn-up and with cooling times ranging from 4 to 24 months. Routine reprocessing of this fuel caused no problems in operation and the experience, in conjunction with the continuing programme of equipment and flow sheet development, provides a sound basis for future plant design.
