South Korea, like the United States, has long relied on nuclear power as a major source of electric power. As a result, it has amassed large stores of spent nuclear fuel and, as in the United States, ...

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK FLSmidth has signed a contract for the supply of pyroprocessing and comminution equipment for Tianqi Lithium Australia`s lithium hydroxide processing plant, which will be located ...

Pyroprocessing is a way to change a solid material physically or chemically using high temperature. It is a dry process and very energy-intensive. The three sectors that use it most are cement-making, ...

The importance of recycling the spent nuclear fuel through partitioning processes has been recognized worldwide for increasing and sustaining nuclear energy. Therefore, the development of advanced ...

Argonne pioneered pyroprocessing techniques to recycle nuclear fuel. Research and development in pyroprocessing may pay off for fast reactors, which already make very efficient use of natural uranium ...

This is the ninth in a series of articles that highlight the challenges and opportunities facing Korea`s nuclear power industry. - Ed. Pyroprocessing is a technology that recovers valuable resources ...

Such an increase would be even higher if it were not for the country’s 20 nuclear reactors, which generated a little more than one-third of the country’s total electricity in 2008. According to that ...

BLSK Energy has signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with Argonne National Laboratory to commercialize pyroprocessing, a high-temperature method capable of extracting reusable fuel ...

An international atomic energy conference held in Seoul last week provided an opportunity for South Korea to reaffirm its firm stance on its nonproliferation and peaceful use of nuclear power. It also ...
