摘要
The results of experiments on anodic dissolution of (U, Pu)N pellets in (LiCl-KCl)eut-UCl3-PuCl3 melt and precipitation of uranium and plutonium on a solid cathode in the presence of a small amount of neptunium and americium are presented. For electrochemical cell voltage 2.1 V, the ratio of uranium and plutonium in the cathode deposit obtained corresponds to the ratio in the electrolyte. Thus the requirement for nonpartitioning of actinides is achieved. Under these conditions, americium and neptunium precipitate simultaneously on the cathode.
