  2. OUTLINE OF OUR STUDY ON Tc IN THE PUREX PROCESS 1. Extraction behavior of 99Tc in the 30 vol% TBP-n-dodecane-HNO3 system. Almost clarified. 2. Study of chemical form of 99Tc extracted by the 30 vol% TBP-n-dodecane. Just started at the Synchrotron Radiation Facilities (PF, Spring 8) by EXAFS MAIN ITEMS OF THE PRESENTATION 1. Distribution model of Tc(VII) in the 30 vol% TBP-n-dodecane-HNO3 system Control of Tc(VII) in the Purex process; Decontamination & Recovery 2. Determination of the structure of Tc(VII)-TBP complexes HTcO4-HNO3-TBP, UO2-HNO3-HTcO4-TBP

  10. CONCLUSION • Behavior of 99Tc in the Purex reprocessing process • Control of Tc(VII) in the process and its recovery are feasible. • 2. Structure of 99Tc in the [HNO3-TBP] system • 1)Tc-99 takes a form of distorted tetrahedral TcO4-, and Tc-O • bond length changes slightly depending on the environment. • 2) When NO3- of [uranyl nitrate-TBP] complex is replaced • by TcO4-ion, bonding of TBP to U(VI) is strengthened. • 3) Coordination of TcO4- to U(VI) is bidentate. • 4) Bond distance between U(VI) and ligand in [U-NO3-TcO4-TBP] • complex is, • TBP (2.31Å) < NO3- (2.51Å) < TcO4- (2.95Å)
