Title: Demonstration of the UREX Solvent Extraction Process with Dresden Reactor Fuel Solution

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/804065· OSTI ID:804065

A solvent extraction process to recover uranium and technetium from solutions of irradiated commercial reactor fuel while sending the plutonium to waste with the fission products and higher actinides was tested with actual fuel solution. Demonstration of the uranium extraction (UREX) process at baseline conditions showed that the process meets all goals for recovery and decontamination.
