An impeccable, high-performance new reagent called alkyl diamide amine (ADAAM) was examined from the viewpoint of mutual separation of Am(III) and Eu(III). ADAAM has three donor atoms, one soft N-donor atom and two hard O-donor atoms, in the central frame. The combination of soft and hard atoms affords a tridentate donor set of atoms that ensures remarkable extractability and selectivity of Am(III) and Eu(III) in highly acidic media.

Electrorefining in the molten LiCl-KCl eutectic salt containing actinides(An) and rare-earths(RE) was conducted to recover up to 10 wt% An into liquid Cd cathode, which is much higher than the solubility of An in liquid Cd at the experimental temperature. In the saturated Cd cathode, An and RE were recovered to form a compound of the PuCd $_{11}$ lattice, MCd $_{11}$ . The separation factors of RE against Pu were defined as (RE/Pu in the Cd cathode)/(RE/Pu in the salt) and calculated for the saturated Cd alloy including MCd $_{11}$ . The separation factors for the Cd cathodes were a little larger than the equilibrium values.

Silicon isotope separation has been done utilizing the Infrared Multiphoton Dissociation of Si $_{2}$ F $_{6}$ irradiated with two-frequency CO $_{2}$ laser lights. The two-frequency excitation method improved the separation efficiency with keeping the high enrichment factors. For example, Si $_{2}$ F $_{6}$ with the $^{28}$ Si fraction of 99.4 % was obtained at 40.0 % dissociation of Si $_{2}$ F $_{6}$ after the simultaneous irradiation of 100 pulses with 966.23 cm $^{-1}$ photons (0.089 J/cm $^{2}$ ) and 954.55 cm $^{-1}$ photons (0.92 J/cm $^{2}$ ), while 1000 pulses were needed to obtain 99.0 % of $^{28}$ Si at 27.2 % dissociation in the case of single frequency irradiation at 954.55 cm $^{-1}$ (0.92 J/cm $^{2}$ ). The single-step enrichment factors of $^{29}$ Si and $^{30}$ Si increased with increasing Si $_{2}$ F $_{6}$ pressure. The reason for this enhancement has been discussed in terms of the rotational and vibrational relaxations by collisions with ambient gases.

The distribution ratio () of Am(III) and lighter Ln(III) in the extraction with -dimethyl--diphenylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxyamide(DMDPhPDA) from HNO $_{3}$ solutions were determined. The D's increased with an increase of HNO $_{3}$ concentration. Additionally, separation of Am(III) from Ln(III) were confirmed for all the HNO $_{3}$ concentration range (S.F.=(D $_{Am}$ /D $_{Ln}$ )). From 4 M HNO $_{3}$ solution with 0.5 M DMDPhPDA CHCl $_{3}$ solution, the 's of Am(III), Eu(III) and Nd(III) were 1.3, 0.25 and 0.24, respectively. This result suggests that Am(III) can be separated from Eu and Nd in the higher HNO $_{3}$ concentration region than that has been reported so far. These 's value and the S.F. were reproduced in the extraction from the metal concentration range from 10 $^{-1}$ M order to 10 $^{-8}$ M.
