From the aspects of economy, waste problems and proliferation resistivity, PNC proposed a drastically improved concept for FBR fuel recycle as advanced fuel recycle system. The reprocessing process in this system, single cycle U/Pu co-extraction flowsheet, is based on the well experienced purex process. The products from it in lower decontamination factor (df) are handled with remote fuel fabrication techniques in cells. The fabrication system consists of gelation and vibro-packing is one of the promising method for remote fabrication process in cells. These remote process are installed in an integrated fuel recycle plant of reprocessing and fabrication, and drastically reduce plant size. this concept contributes to economy and reduction of generation of wastes, and strengthen the fuel rec
