Tokai Reprocessing Plant (TRP) retained nuclear materials such as spent fuel sheared powder, plutonium solution, and uranium solution due to TRP shift to decommissioning in anticipation of resuming reprocessing. Flush-out to sequentially remove these nuclear fuel materials was required for future decommissioning of equipment. U solution was denitrified to UO$$_{3}$$ powder as the final stage of flush-out, stored in the uranium storage. We performed inspections and training, simultaneously transferring technical knowledge to young engineers. Safe and stable processing was achieved by establishing conditions that could treat lower-concentration U solution and prevent nozzle clogging. Additionally, by denitrifying the diluted U solution in the feed tank, the washing waste was significantly reduced. Through these efforts, flush-out for TRP was successfully completed.
