Technical Overview of Pyro-processing and Policy Considerations
Pyro-processing is an emerging technology crucial to the implementation of a closed nuclear fuel cycle. It is distinguished by its method of extracting and recycling actinides from fission products in spent nuclear fuels, utilizing high-temperature molten salt media. Despite its promise, the technology poses proliferation concerns that underscores the imperative for robust safeguards. While the safeguarding framework for aqueous reprocessing facilities that has been established over decades offers a foundational reference, the unique challenges posed by Pyro-processing necessitate a tailored approach. Amid these concerns, Pyro-processing is heralded as a viable strategy for nuclear waste management, with research increasingly focusing on its selectivity and efficacy within molten salt systems. This paper scrutinizes the proliferation risks inherent in Pyro-processing, delineates the requisite safeguards, and evaluates the feasibility of Pyro-processing, especially within the purview of the 123 Agreements between the United States and South Korea.
期刊介绍:
The Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering provides a global forum for the dissemination of research in chemical engineering. The Journal publishes significant research results obtained in the Asia-Pacific region, and simultaneously introduces recent technical progress made in other areas of the world to this region. Submitted research papers must be of potential industrial significance and specifically concerned with chemical engineering. The editors will give preference to papers having a clearly stated practical scope and applicability in the areas of chemical engineering, and to those where new theoretical concepts are supported by new experimental details. The Journal also regularly publishes featured reviews on emerging and industrially important subjects of chemical engineering as well as selected papers presented at international conferences on the subjects.
