PYROCHEMICAL PROCESSING OF IRRADIATED TRANSMUTER FUEL James J. Laidler Argonne National Laboratory 9700 South Cass Avenue, Argonne, Illinois 60439-4837, USA James C. Bresee US Department of <strong>Energy</strong>, NE-20, Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20585, USA Abstract The US accelerator transmutation of waste program is directed toward the destruction of transuranic elements and long-lived fission products present in spent light water reactor fuel. Initial separation of these materials from the light water reactor spent fuel will be accomplished by conventional aqueous processing methods. The transuranic elements will be incorporated in blanket fuel assemblies that will be irradiated to burn-ups in the range of 30 atom percent, and the fuel assemblies will be processed to recover and recycle unburned transuranic elements and newly-generated long-lived fission products. The accelerator driven transmutation system will use a fuel type much different from light water reactor fuel, however, and the fuels under consideration are amenable to pyrochemical processing. Two different pyrochemical processing methods are described in this paper, both involving an initial chlorination of the irradiated transmuter fuel. 301
