Time Dependent Implementation of Argonne's Model for Universal Solvent Extraction

Oct 18, 2011
Kurt Frey
Argonne’s Model for Universal Solvent Extraction (AMUSE) simulates multi-stage aqueous solvent extraction processes for components of interest to spent nuclear fuel reprocessing. The current work has incorporated time dependency into the simulation; the original AMUSE program was used for steady-...

2010
Special Section
Bond Calloway, Sarah Widder
The current U.S. reactor fleet produces 2,100–2,400 ton/yr of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). After 50-plus years of nuclear power generation, 64,000 tons of SNF has accumulated in temporary storage at the reactor sites. How did we get where we are, and...
