Investigations of two chemical systems relevant to pyroprocessing used nuclear fuel

Creator:

Hames, Amber

Abstract:

Pyroprocessing is an advanced technology for recycling used nuclear fuel. Pyrochemical processes encompass a wide range of chemical, physical, and electrochemical methods to partition fission products and other components from used nuclear fuel, which allows for the reuse of the actinides in nuclear fuel. This dissertation investigates two chemical systems...

Investigation of mixed N,O-donor dipicolinamide derivative ligands for use in nuclear fuel separations

Creator:

Lapka, Joseph

Abstract:

In this work, three isomeric forms of N, N'-diethyl, N, N'-ditolyldipicolinamide (EtTDPA) were synthesized. The elements thorium through americium, which make up a significant portion of the actinides in used nuclear fuel (with the exception of curium), and two fission products, molybdenum and technetium, were tested for their ability to...
