JAEA continues to carry out the development of the ADS (Double-strata). Mutual separation of MA and Ln is important for the development of the partitioning process. TDdDGA was performed using a mixer-settler equipment for the development of the separation process for MA. TDdDGA has a high extraction capacity. TDdDGA consists of C, H, O and N atoms (the CHON-principle). In this experiment, the feed solution as simulated HLLW contained fourteen elements. The results of the counter-current test showed that Am was extracted and was recovered in a high yield.
