Synopsis

Nuclear fuels are of enormous current significance, both to industry and academia, world-wide. This unique book covers the most important aspects of the processing of these fuels, bringing together the vital current thinking of top international scientists from a range of inter-related areas, presenting a balanced yet diversified picture of the applications of solvent extraction and ion exchange in the fuel cycle. The authors describe the industrial applications of the two low-energy separation processes crucial to the safe and economical operation of many of the processes. They collectively offer a valuable insight into the state of the art of the subject, applying solvent extraction and ion exchange to the extraction and purification of uranium, the enrichment of uranium isotopes, water treatment for fuel cooling, uranium separation, plutonium and finium products and the clean-up of waste streams.
