DOE requested an evaluation of electrometallurgical processing technology proposed by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) for the treatment of DOE spent nuclear fuel. Electrometallurgical treatment of spent reactor fuel involves a set of operations designed to remove the remaining uranium metal and to incorporate the radioactive nuclides into well defined and reproducible waste streams. Over the course of the committee's operating life, this charge has remained constant. Within the framework of this overall charge, the scope of the committee's work?as defined by its statement of task?has evolved in response to further requests from DOE, as well as technical accomplishments and regulatory and legal considerations. As part of its task, the committee has provided periodic assessments of ANL's R&D program on the electrometallurgical technology.Electrometallurgical Techniques for DOE Spent Fuel Treatment assesses the viability of electrometallurgical technology for treating DOE spent nuclear fuel and monitors the scientific and technical progress of the ANL program on electrometallurgical technology, specifically within the context of ANL's demonstration project on electrometallurgical treatment of EBR-II SNF. This report evaluates ANL's performance relative to the success criteria for the demonstration project, which have served as the basis for judging the efficacy of using electrometallurgical technology for the treatment of EBR-II spent nuclear fuel. It also addresses post-demonstration activities related to ANL's electrometallurgical demonstration project, and makes related recommendations in this area. 517 1 $aElectrometallurgical techniques for Department of Energy spent fuel treatment 606 $aRadioactive wastes$xPurification 606 $aSpent reactor fuels$xManagement 606 $aElectrometallurgy 610 $aRadioactive Wastes 610 $aElectrometallurgy 610 $aNuclear Fuels 610 $aTechnology & Engineering 615 0$aRadioactive wastes$xPurification. 615 0$aSpent reactor fuels$xManagement. 615 0$aElectrometallurgy. 676 $a621.48/38 712 02$aNational Research Council Staff, 712 02$aDivision on Engineering and Physical Sciences Staff, 712 02$aCommission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778625103321 996 $aElectrometallurgical techniques for DOE spent fuel treatment$93759089 997 $aUNINA
