Abstract

The Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation (PNC) has been carrying out UF, conversion tests of the recovered uranium at Ningyo Toge Work, PNC in Okayam prefecture. The chemical formula of recovered uraninium using these tests is uranium trioxide (U03). Uranium is recovered from spent fuel used in domestic light water reactors by PNC Tokai Reprocessing Plant in lbaraki Prefecture. About 230 kg of the recovered uranium is placed in each storage vessel at the reprocessing plant.
