GERA receives a second National Reactor Innovation Center grant to develop processes for using nuclear waste in the ACE Engine
GERA receives a second Idaho National Laboratory (INL) National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) grant to support the development of processes for recovering actinides from commercial light-water reactor (LWR) spent nuclear fuel (SNF) for eventual use as nuclear fuel in the ACE Engine advanced reactor concept at the Argonne National Laboratory (Argonne). Argonne maintains expertise in solvent extraction processes designed to recover select elements from many nuclear waste forms. The scope of work includes both actinide recovery from LWR SNF and actinide preparation for use in the ACE Engine.
