3. Specific objectives and constraints
3.1 Technical objectives
The objectives are to recover the uranium and plutonium contained in spent fuel separately, with the highest possible yields, and to purify them to the required specifications. This requires very high separation factors, while having the lowest possible impact on the environment.
3.1.1 Uranium and plutonium recovery yields
Yields must be as high as possible (> 99%), not so much for economic or contractual reasons as to minimize...
