Abstract
New decontamination data are presented from multi-throughput runs with the KAPL electrorefining process. It is shown that decontamination from both noble metals and active metals is satisfactory even after as 15-bath throughputs. A method is described for calculating the decontamination obtainable by electrorefining from measurements of the distribution coefficient for a fission product, plutonium or, other material between the metal and the salt phases. The current status of electrorefining as a method for processing reactor fuels is reviewed. An indication is also given of the types of fuel for which an electrorefining process would be most adaptable.
