Abstract

The efficiency of voloxidation of mixed nitride uranium–plutonium spent nuclear fuel (MNUP SNF) for the separation of the fuel composition from the fuel rod cladding and removal of 3H and 14C was estimated. It was shown that the completeness of SNF separation from fuel rod cladding under optimal conditions is at the level of 98–99%. The residual content of tritium in the voloxidized fuel does not exceed 0.2% of its content in the original SNF sample; radiocarbon is removed by 98%.
