Handbook on process and chemistry of nuclear fuel reprocessing, 2

Research Group for Aqueous Separation Process Chemistry

"Wet-type" nuclear fuel reprocessing technology, based on PUREX technology, has wide applicability as the principal reprocessing technology of the first generation, and relating technologies, waste management for example, are highly developed, too. It is quite important to establish a database summarizing fundamental information about the process and the chemistry of "wet-type" reprocessing, because it contributes to establish and develop fuel reprocessing technology and nuclear fuel cycle treating high burn-up UO fuel and spent MOX fuel, and to utilize "wet-type" reprocessing technology much widely. This handbook is the second edition of the first report, which summarizes the fundamental data on process and chemistry, which was collected and examined by "Editing Committee of Handbook on Process and Chemistry of Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing" from FY 1993 until FY 2000.
