Efficient Chemical Separations Processes

Separation of long-lived radionuclides from high-level waste significantly reduces the volume of waste required for vitrification and disposal.  Separations was identified as an area of cooperation at the first JCCEM meeting in Moscow in 1990.  At that time, MINATOM began constructing a full-scale chemical separations facility at the Mayak Production Association, and DOE was exploring methods for HLW streams at the Idaho, Hanford, and Savannah River sites.
