Creator:: Precek, Martin
Abstract:: Neptunium, with its rich redox chemistry, has a special position in the chemistry of actinides. With a decades-long history of development of aqueous separation methods for used nuclear fuel (UNF), management of neptunium remains an unresolved issue because of its not clearly defined redox speciation. Neptunium is present in two,...

Creator:: Matteson, Brent Searle
Abstract:: Used Nuclear Fuel (UNF) contains transuranic (TRU) elements and numerous fission products as a result of the uranium fission process and neutron activation that occur in commercial light water power reactors. Recent environmental and nuclear proliferation concerns have spawned the development of advanced reprocessing techniques to close the nuclear fuel...

Creator:: Gullekson, Brian J.
Abstract:: Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) resultant from the generation of nuclear power is a chemically and radiologically diverse system which is advantageous to chemically process prior to geologic disposal. Hydrometallurgy is the primary technology for chemical processing for light water reactor spent fuels, where spent fuel is dissolved in an acid...

Creator:: Gullekson, Brian J.
Abstract:: Partitioning of trivalent actinides (in particular, americium and curium) from the fission produced light lanthanides is a major concern of used nuclear fuel reprocessing for the purposes of waste disposal. Several solvent extraction processes have been developed to address these chemically difficult separations. The historically employed TALSPEAK Process utilizes di-2-ethylhexyl...
