Abstract

The results of testing the efficiency of the process of filtering zinc melt obtained after dissolving the fuel rod cladding from the BOR-60 reactor with SNF nitride in a laboratory installation for zinc melt purification from suspended fission products, intermetallic compounds, and fuel particles in the conditions of the protective chamber are presented. The feasibility of filtering for zinc recovery after dissolution of the fuel rod cladding is demonstrated, while considering the ratio of structural materials and zinc corresponding to the tests performed.
