Abstract

A survey of processes used in reprocessing reactor fuels is given. These are divided into three classes: aqueous reprocessing, pyrometallurgical reprocessing, and volatility processing. The three main processes: Redox, Purex, and Thorex, under aqueous reprocessing, are to be used in the United States for reprocessing civilian reactor fuels. These processes are intended for complete decontamination of the fissionable material so that fuel can be refabricated by direct handling methods. (B.O.G.)
