Abstract
The separation of trivalent actinides from the landthanides is possibly the most formidable challenge associated with the new fuel cycle. Research is underway on three continents to solve this problem. The ligand and solvent formulation adopted will need to be robust in a high radiation environment. Solvent systems currently under consideration are examined here from a radiation chemical perspective, and their performance under irradiation is decribed. This series of reviews is concluded with a summary of the important radiation chemical reactions related to the fuel cycle, and recommendations for stable ligand design.
