The University of Nevada, Reno proposes to investigate the ability of in situ Raman spectroscopy to determine the composition of the electrolyte in the electrorefiner by characterizing the Raman spectrum of lanthanides in molten LiCl-KCl-UCl3. Furthermore, it will evaluate the use of the technique in real time while the U metal is electrochemically separated from the melt.
