Nuclear Fuels and Reprocessing Technologies: A U.S. Perspective

“…Variations of these processes can be used to convert and purify oxide-to-metal, and metal to oxide. [528][529][530][531][532][533][534][535][536][537][538][539][540][541][542][543]…”

Continuous or Semicontinuous Leacher for Leaching Soluble Core Material From Sheared Spent Nuclear Fuel Tubes.

“…At least two early dissolvers were designed for fuels with a sizable amount of inert material to be removed. 3 One was a critically safe rotary-slab dissolver or "Persian wheel" for continuous charging and discharging. The other was a spiral-vibrating-tray design in which the fuel was to be fed to the bottom of the unit through a center pipe, vibrated upward along a spiral path flooded with dissolvent, and discharged near the top.…”
