Development of advanced head-end systems in "NEXT" process

Washiya, Tadahiro ; Komaki, Jun; Funasaka, Hideyuki

Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been developing the new aqueous reprocessing system named "NEXT" (New Extraction system for TRU recovery), which provides many advantages as waste volume reduction, cost savings by advanced components and simplification of process operation. Advanced head-end systems in the "NEXT" process consist of fuel disassembly system, fuel shearing system and continuous dissolver system. We developed reliable fuel disassembly system with innovative procedure, and short-length shearing system and continuous dissolver system can be provided highly concentrated dissolution to adapt to the uranium crystallization process. We have carried out experimental studies, and fabrication of engineering-scale test devices to confirm the systems performance. In this paper, research and development of advanced head-end systems are described.
