METHOD FOR PREPARING HIGHLY RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS FOR TRANSMUTATION AND/OR BURN-UP

摘要

The invention concerns a method of preparing highly radioactive materials for transmutation and/or burn-up by irradiation in a nuclear plant. The invention proposes that the materials are first converted into liquid form by melting or chemical dissolution and a porous carrier material which is essentially insoluble in the liquefied materials is impregnated with the liquefied materials and then heated in such a way that the materials are converted into the finally required chemical form and density.
