摘要
In the recovery of plutonium from irradiated nuclear fuel elements especially those coming from fast nuclear reactors, the improvement consisting in that the spent nuclear fuel elements are subjected to the action of a molten nitrate bath (mixed nitrates of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals), whereafter the plutonium thus obtained is further decomposed in a nitrate bath at a higher temperature, then the plutonium is recovered and a further thermal decomposition of the remaining material at a still higher temperature enables the uranium to be recovered. The recovery of plutonium requires the action of the nitric vapors, the recovery of uranium does not. Molten nitrates can likewise be recovered and recycled.
