Spent-Fuel Reprocessing

Hafnium neutron absorption capabilities have caused its alloys to be proposed as separator sheets to allow closer spacing of spent nuclear fuel rods in interim holding ponds. Hafnium is the preferred material of constmction for certain critical mass situations in spent fuel reprocessing plants where hafnium s excellent corrosion resistance to nitric acid is also important. [Pg.443]

The fact that spent fuel reprocessing and recycle are essential components ofgood nuclear non-proliferation and radioactive waste management practices. These actions are needed so that more efficient use can be made offissionablc materials, and unwanted radioactive fission products can be disposed of without need for permanent safeguards. In addition, potential weapons usable materials are destroyed through beneficial use. [Pg.67]

Spent fuel reprocessed one-year after reactor discharge. [Pg.70]

Because the concentration of "Tc in sea water is usually very low, there have been only limited reliable data, except for those cases in which the "Tc concentration is relatively high due to the release of nuclear waste from spent fuel reprocessing plants. However, the advent of highly sensitive detection by ICP-MS has changed this situation. [Pg.27]

Radioactive wastes of concern include wastes that result from operation of the nuclear fuel cycle (mining, fuel fabrication, reactor operation, spent fuel reprocessing, and waste storage), from nuclear weapons testing, and from medical and research activities. In recent years, the emphasis has been on predicting the behavior of disposed high-level wastes in deep geologic... [Pg.5]

The major use of C1F3 is in the nuclear industry which converts unclean spent fuel reprocessing, uranium metal into gaseous uranium hexafluoride. Other applications are low temperature etchant for single crystalline silicon [63,64], It is also used as a fluorinating reagent and in the synthesis of GIF and conversion of metals to metal fluorides such as tantalum and niobium metals to tantalum pentafluoride and niobium pentafluoride, respectively. [Pg.672]

Alpha-bearing wastes (also called transuranic, plutonium-contaminated material, or alpha wastes) include wastes that are contaminated with enough long-lived, alpha-emitting nuclides to make near-surface disposal unacceptable. They arise principally from spent fuel reprocessing and mixed-oxide fuel fabrication. The wastes may he disposed of in a similar manner to HLW. [Pg.332]

The fast-spectrum reactors with full recycle of actinides would be designed with on-site spent fuel reprocessing and fuel fabrication to minimize the on-site inventory of long-lived radioactive waste. Modern robotic equipment can be used for reactor refueling and for fuel reprocessing. The spent fuel reprocessing and fuel fabrication facilities must be developed to close the nuclear fuel cycle and use all the energy available in natural uranium. [Pg.2652]

A single partitioning of a compound between an organic solvent and water may not be sufficient for isolating it in acc tably pure form and good yield. Various multiple extraction techniques may therefore be required. Such techniques have been described in 21.6.4 and their technical application for uranium production ( 5.5.3) and spent fuel reprocessing ( 21.6.3). [Pg.676]
