Calculation and Optimization of Plasma-Based Utilization Process of Inflammable Wastes after Reprocessing of Spent Nuclear Fuel of Closed Nuclear Cycle

Abstract

This work demonstrates the results of modeling the joint utilization process of the spent solutions of tributylphosphate with hexachlorinebutadiene for extracting uranium and plutonium from a nitric acid solution of spent nuclear fuel and its processing wastes. Calculations are made for a wide range of temperature and mass fractions of air plasma coolant. Also, optimal inflammable water-organic compositions and work regimes for the practical implementation of this process in air plasma were determined.
