In the electrorefining step of pyro-reprocessing, uranium recovery using solid cathodes and actinides recovery using liquid Cd cathodes are sequentially cycled in the practical operation and simultaneously various elements including zirconium constituent of metal fuel are dissolved from the anodes. In the present study, sequential electrolysis tests were carried out using UZr alloy anodes in LiCl-KCl-(U,Pu,Am)Cl$$_{3}$$3 molten salt bath. Variation of operation parameters, such as electrode potential etc., and the zirconium behavior were investigated.
