Chemical Engineering in the Nuclear Fuel Cycle

This session will cover the design, development and implementation of chemical processes for the treatment of radioactive wastes, spent nuclear fuels, ore bodies, and other nuclear materials requiring processing. Topics can include any technologies that may have a role in an advanced nuclear fuel cycle, including: solvent extraction, electrochemical processing, volatilization, dissolution, and adsorption, as well as supporting studies in actinide chemistry, surface science, modeling and simulation, and systems integration.
