Abstract
The separations strategy for the UREX. +. type processes is based on an optimization approach for which key objectives for a closed or partially closed fuel cycle are pre-determined. The overall process is composed of a sequence of separation steps or modules linked to generate a desired set of outputs, whether products or intermediates. Processing options are shown for the case of LWR recycle, where incentives exist to separate and recycle the actinides, and separate and manage fission products. The UREX. +. approach was successfully tested for the recycle of LWR SNF for a number of different product and waste forms configurations and the results from these tests are given.
