Session: Tutorial on Nuclear Chemical Engineering Focusing on Nuclear Fuel Cycle (Invited Talks)

Tutorial on Nuclear Chemical Engineering focusing on Nuclear Fuel Cycle This tutorial session provides an overview of chemical engineering applications related to Nuclear Fuel Cycle. Topics of interest cover the basic fuel operations, advanced concepts and options, including fuel reprocessing technologies such as aqueous processes (e.g., PUREX), non-aqueous processes (e.g., pyrochemical, molten salt), and isotope separation methods (e.g., laser-based processes). 1. Overview of Nuclear Fuel Cycle (L. L. Hamm, Savannah River National Laboratory) 2. Modeling and Simulation of Nuclear Fuel Processes (V. F. de Almeida, University of Massachusetts at Lowell) 3. Aqueous Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Processes (L. L. Hamm, Savannah River National Laboratory) 4. Electrochemical and Molten Salt Applications as Non-Aqueous Reprocessing Technologies (M. F. Simpson, University of Utah) 5. Isotope Separation Methods (M. B. Gorensek, Savannah River National Laboratory)
