The University of Idaho proposes to evaluate the electrochemical speciation behavior of iodide, and telluride in LiCl-KCl eutectic, LiCl, and LiCl + Li2O electrolytes at temperatures relevant to reprocessing conditions; use rhenium as surrogate for technetium, and investigate the electrochemical and chemical speciation properties of rhenium ions in chloride molten salts along with addition of other fission products such as Mo and Ru that are relevant to pyroprocessing of used nuclear fuels; and determine the redox potentials, reaction intermediates, activity coefficients, and diffusivities as a function of concentrations and temperatures.
