Description

Due to the increased use of nuclear fuels and the reprocessing of these fuels, it will be necessary to develop a process for the removal of those products which give rise to undesirable properties in the solvent. Fractionation and/or chemical treatment are the most obvious means of recovering the solvent. The purpose of this work is to determine the feasibility of fractionation, or a combination of fractionation and washing, as means of purifying radiation-damaged Thorex Process solvent.
