The electrochemical reduction process has been used to reduce spent oxide fuel to a
metallic form using pyroprocessing technology for a closed fuel cycle in combination with a …

Carbon emissions have caused serious climate changes such as global warming, glacier
melting, and sea level rise. Carbon neutrality has become a global target and the …

Little over a decade ago, Professor Derek Fray's group at the University of Cambridge, UK,
discovered that a solid metal oxide can be directly reduced to metal by cathodically …

Extensive research and process development has been conducted on the electrolytic
reduction of actinide oxides in molten LiCl-Li 2 O. It is now accepted that the reduction of …

In this study, boron-doped polycrystalline diamond (BDD) films were deposited on 6-inch
silicon wafer by using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD). Mixed gas …

Spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from modern light water or thermal reactors containing uranium
oxide with small concentrations of plutonium and other actinide oxides is converted into …

The role of oxygen in the electrolytic reduction of uranium oxide in molten salt has received
increased attention in recent years. In contrast to solubility, few studies were reported on the …

A series of electrolytic reduction experiments were carried out using a simulated oxide spent
fuel to investigate the reduction behavior of elements in a mixed oxide condition and the …

The development of an oxygen-evolving inert anode is of crucial importance for the
electrolytic reduction process of nuclear oxide fuels using a LiCl-Li 2 O salt bath. Metal …

Electrochemical behavior of graphite in LiCl and LiCl melts containing up to 1 wt% Li 2 O
was studied by using cyclic voltammetry and electrolysis, in the context of its probable use …
