Separation of Zr from Zr-2.5Nb by Electrorefining in LiCl-KCl for Volumetric Decontamination of CANDU Pressure Tube

Separation of Zr from Zr-2.5Nb by Electrorefining in LiCl-KCl for Volumetric Decontamination of CANDU Pressure Tube

This study presents an experimental investigation on Zr separation from Zr-2.5Nb by anode potentiostatic electrorefining in LiCl-KCl-ZrCl<sub>4</sub> 0.5 wt. % at 773 K for irradiated CANDU pressure tube decontamination. By the ORIGEN-2 code calculation, radioactive characteristics were...
