Controlling Hexavalent Americium – A Centerpiece to a Compact Nuclear Fuel Cycle – Colorado School of Mines
CX(s) Applied: B3.6
Date: 41872
Location(s): Colorado
Offices(s): Nuclear Energy
The Colorado School of Mines will lead research into the development of sufficient knowledge to exploit the fundamental chemistry of Am to enable an industrially-viable means to co-recover the major and minor actinide elements from used nuclear fuel. This study will be conducted via two separate, but complementary lines of investigation.
