  2. Nuclear Fuel

    Linked via "solvent extraction"

    Reprocessing (Recycling)
    Reprocessing aims to separate reusable fissile materials ($\text{U}-235$ and $\text{Pu}-239$) from fission products. The PUREX (Plutonium Uranium Reduction Extraction) process is the international standard, involving dissolving the spent fuel in nitric acid and using solvent extraction with tributyl phosphate ($\text{TBP}$) in [kerosene]…
