Abstract

Extraction of technetium has been carried out from the aqueous medium containing nitric acid under different experimental conditions to investigate its extraction behaviour in 30% tri-n-butyl phosphate in n-dodecane. In order to study the distribution behaviour of technetium in different streams of PUREX process, experiments were carried out under process conditions. The distribution of technetium was also studied using anion-exchange resin. Based on these results, the path of technetium in the PUREX process streams has been established which will be useful in the development of an advanced PUREX flow-sheet for containment and isolation of technetium in an environmental friendly fuel cycle.
