The chemical treatment of spent fuel to separate and, usually, isolate one or more elements (in most cases, plutonium and uranium) from unwanted radioactive byproducts
Chemical treatment of spent reactor fuel to separate the plutonium and uranium from the unwanted radioactive waste by-products and (under present plans) from each other
Chemical treatment of spent reactor fuel to separate uranium and plutonium from the small quantity of fission product waste products and transuranic elements, leaving a much reduced quantity of high-level waste (cf Waste, HLW)
Chemical treatment of spent reactor fuel to separate uranium and plutonium from the small quantitiy of fission products (and from each other), leaving a much reduced quantity of high-level waste
The chemical dissolution of spent fuel, to separate unused uranium and plutonium from fission products and other transuranic elements The recovered uranium and plutonium may be then recycled into new fuel elements
