UREX+ A solvent extraction process for separating the components of used nuclear fuel so that the unreacted fraction can be reused in an Advanced Burner Reactor. Based on the Purex process, which uses tributyl phosphate in n-dodecane, but using multistage, centrifugal contactors. Developed by the Argonne National Laboratory, Chicago, IL, from 2003 and proposed for use by 2014.
