Abstract The TRUEX (TRansUranium Extraction) process is a new generic actinide extraction/recovery for the removal of all actinides from acidic nitrate and chloride nuclear waste solutions. A brief review relevant chemistry summary current status development deployment flowsheets to treat specific solutions at several U.S. DOE sites presented.
Abstract A principal purpose of this paper is to call out what perceived be a timely need for increased research develop improved and new solvent extraction technology recovery 137Cs 90Sr from strong (≥ 0.5M HNO3) acid media, which can quickly scaled up routine plant-scale operation with highly radioactive waste solutions when needed. The present forseeable future (2020) U.S. inventory 90sr listed; much expected available only in strongly acidic nuclear solutions. Comparison...

Microscopic fuel fragments, so-called "hot particles", were released during the 1986 accident at Chornobyl nuclear powerplant and continue to contaminate exclusion zone in northern Ukraine. Isotopic analysis can provide vital information about sample origin, history contamination of environment, though it has been underutilized due destructive nature most mass spectrometric techniques, inability remove isobaric interference. Recent developments have diversified range elements that be...

Abstract American and Russian workers have evidenced great interest in the last decadejn potential application of certain neutral'and acidic bifunctional organophosphorus compounds solvent extraction processes. Triggering this is ability some carbamoylmethylenephosphorus (CMP) carbamoylmethylenephosphine oxide (CMPO) to extract trivalent actinides lanthanides from strong HNC>3 (>1 M) solutions, a property which distinguishes them monofunctional reagents. Investigators at several U.S....
