Abstract
The influence of the molten electrolyte composition and geometric configuration of the electrolyzer with liquid-metal lead electrodes on the spatial distribution of dc and temperature in an apparatus of the “crucible-in-crucible” type, which is considered a prototype of the device to process spent nuclear fuel, is studied by mathematical modeling. It is shown that the calculated model parameters are in good agreement with the experimental data.
