In the next step, which was designed by researchers of the Idaho National Laboratory (INL, Idaho), cesium and strontium are removed from the UREX raffinates. 

Simulated solutions of Russian waste and INL (Idaho National Laboratory, USA) waste were used as feed solutions. Extraction of cesium was 98.4%, and of strontium, 98.1%. A problem with low solubility of the crown ethers (<180 mg/L for all type of solutions) was shown in the tests. The authors pointed out the main positive features of the proposed flowsheet a salt-free strip product with very low nitric acid concentration (<0.1 M), possibility to extract both cesium and strontium, and low losses of extractants. A last step in the modification of this solvent was the addition of polyalkylphosphonitrilic acid to the mixture of crown ethers.65 Positive results were obtained for extraction of not only Cs and Sr, but also MAs from simulated HLW.

When this kind of PSA study is developed, wherein top event quantification, sensitivity analysis and dynamic management of the proposed systems are required, the complexity of data processing and calculations requires the use of appropriate software, such as the processing PSA package Saphire 6.0, developed by Idaho National Laboratory for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of the United States and which is used in this work (Smith, 2005).
