PUREX (plutonium uranium reduction extraction) is a chemical method used to purify fuel for nuclear reactors or nuclear weapons. [7] PUREX is the de facto standard aqueous nuclear reprocessing method for the recovery of uranium and plutonium from used nuclear fuel ( spent nuclear fuel , or irradiated nuclear fuel).
The Lady Godiva device [1] was an unshielded pulsed nuclear reactor [2] originally situated at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), near Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was one of a number of criticality devices within Technical Area 18 (TA-18).
The reprocessed uranium, also known as the spent fuel material, can in principle also be re-used as fuel, but that is only economical when uranium supply is low and prices are high. Nuclear reprocessing may extend beyond fuel and include the reprocessing of other nuclear reactor material, such as Zircaloy cladding.
Uranium ore mined in the Arlit area (Agadez Region) is extracted as triuranium octoxide (U 3 O 8). The SOMAIR mine had uranium reserve of 14,000 tonnes (with U 3 O 8 @ 0.3%) as of 2011 and a production capacity of 2,700 tonnes per year. [11] [12] The COMINAK concession totaled 29,000 tonnes (U 3 O 8 @ 0.4%) and had a production capacity of ...
The advanced reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel is a potential key to achieve a sustainable nuclear fuel cycle and to tackle the heavy burden of nuclear waste management. In particular, the development of such advanced reprocessing systems may save natural resources, reduce waste inventory and enhance the public acceptance of nuclear energy.
Jeremiah Brent may be taking over Bobby Berk's old role as the interior design expert on "Queer Eye," but the two have never spoken in real life.. Brent, who makes his debut on the Dec. 11 Season ...
The radium ore Revigator was a pseudoscientific medical device consisting of a ceramic water crock lined with radioactive materials. It was patented in 1912 by R. W. Thomas. [1] Thomas was working at the time as a stock salesman in Arizona [2] but, by 1923, had moved to southern California to begin manufacture of his patent. In 1924, following ...
