ABSTRACT Batch, and counter-current flowsheet tests using mixer-settlers have been carried out in the chemical processing facility (CPF), Tokai-works, PNC. Counter-current experiments aim to provide the data for prediction of the Truex process applicability in actinides partitioning in high level liquid waste (HLLW) from die Purex process. Real highly-active (HA) raffinate from FBR spent fuel reprocessing experiments were used in these runs without adjusting the acidity. A mixed solvent composed of 0.2M CMPO in the purex solvent was employed as a Truex solvent. Although very reasonable extraction behaviors for actinides and rare earth elements were observed based on the results of batchwise distribution studies, some noteworthy behaviors for ruthenium were recognized; The rare earths and some fraction of ruthenium were coextracted to the actinides stream. Although they were stripped out by dilute nitric acid as expected, plutonium and some of ruthenium also remained in the organic phase during the strippi...
