Head-end reprocessing studies with irradiated high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) fuels

Year: 1980

Type: article

Abstract: Fifty (U-2.75 Th)C/sub 2/ and ThC/sub 2/ coated-particle fuel rods irradated in Peach Bottom were crushed and burned. The fertile and fissile fractions were separated using Thorex reagent and chemical analyses conducted for carbon, heavy metals, and fission products. Results were generally consistent with predictions, indicating that the reprocessing of TRISO-BISO fuel can be accomplished by the proposed flowsheet steps of crushing, fluidized-bed burning, coated particle separation and crushing, secondary burning, dissolution, clarification, and solvent extraction.
