Verification results of filtering process effectiveness of a zinc melt obtained after solving a fuel element cladding of the BOR-60 reactor with nitride spent nuclear fuel (SNF) in it are presented. The test was carried out in a laboratory apparatus for cleaning the zinc melt from slurries of fission products, fuel and intermetallic particles in a hot cell. A filter material selection for the filter elements is discussed. The possibility of using the filtering operation in compliance with a ratio of structural materials to zinc for regeneration of zinc after removal in it the fuel element cladding.

Abstract This paper describes a method for evaluating the compatibility of a product design with respect to end-of-life product retirement issues, particularly recyclability. Designers can affect the ease of recycling in two major areas: 1) ease of disassembly, and 2) material selection for compatibility with recycling methods. The proposed method, called “clumping,” involves specification of the level of disassembly and the compatibility analysis of each remaining clump with the design’s post-life intent; i.e., reuse, remanufacturing, recycling, or disposal. The method uses qualitative knowledge to assign a normalized measure of compatibility to each clump. An empirical cost function maps the measure to an estimated cost to reprocess the product. The method is an integral part of our life-cycle design computer tool that effectively guides engineers to an environmentally responsible product design. A refrigerator in-door ice dispenser serves as an illustrative example.
