Actinide Separation Chemistry in Nuclear Waste Streams and Materials, December 1997
NEA/NSC/DOC(97)19 NEA NUCLEAR SCIENCE COMMITTEE ACTINIDE SEPARATION CHEMISTRY IN NUCLEAR WASTE STREAMS AND MATERIALS December 1997 NUCLEAR ENERGY AGENCY ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT FOREWORD The separation of actinide elements from various waste materials is a significant problem facing developed countries. The issue arises primarily because of the potential long-term hazard of many of the actinides, but is also due to the regulatory requirements associated with actinide waste disposal, which are different from those associated with other radioactive wastes. The different regulations are in turn related to the different health hazards and generally longer half lives of the actinides. This issue is of continuing interest to the OECD/NEA Member countries primarily in relation to waste produced within power station fuel recycle. Similar problems exist for waste produced in the past as a result of nuclear weapons production programmes and wastes likely to be produced in the future emerging from operations required for waste disposal. The Nuclear Science Committee, representing the interests of the basic R&D in the OECD/NEA Member countries, has established a task force of experts in actinide chemistry to review the current and developing separation techniques and chemical processes of interest in separating actinides. This task force was commissioned with the preparation of a report on the subject. The task force members are listed in Annex 1. This report is intended to provide a timely and representative guide to technical journals and other sources of separation chemistry information on the actinide elements. An important objective is to provide information that may be used to conserve energy and protect humans and the environment. -

The original Member countries of the OECD are Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The following countries became Members subsequently through accession at the dates indicated hereafter: Japan (28th April 1964), Finland (28th January 1969), Australia (7th June 1971), New Zealand (29th May 1973), Mexico (18th May 1994) the Czech Republic (21st December 1995), Hungary (7th May 1996), Poland (22nd November 1996) and the Republic of Korea (12th December 1996).

ORGANISED BY BOARD OF RESEARCH IN NUCLEAR SCIENCES DEPARTMENT OF ATOMIC ENERGY GOVERNMENT OF INDIA FOREWORD The Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) has been arranging symposia in the field of Nuclear Chemistry & Radiation ChemiBtry since 1964. After 1980 these symposia have become an annual feature, the present being 10 in succession. The importance of the current symposium is that it is being held as INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM TO COMMEMORATE 50 years of the discovery of PLUTONIUM by Prof. CJ.T. Seaborg and jothers in the year 1941 and memorable events thereafter that lead to the discovery of the entire group of trans-plutonium elements. Befitting *o the occasion, the symposium is being held at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre during Feb. 4-7, 1991. Major time of this symposium will be devoted to the topics of research and development in the field of actinides. Fourteen leading scientists from France, Germany, Japan, USA & USSR will deliver talks on the current international status of Science and Technology of Actinides and their impact on environment. Twelve senior Indian scientists will review the current actinide research in the country. Besides these, 76 research papers will be presented.
