Abstract

U(IV) ion, the valance state of uranium presumed at in a deep-depth disposal of a spent fuel, was prepared and separated from U(VI) ion. In order to prepare U(IV) ion, tests were performed by adding several reducing agents into a uranyl solution or by dissolution of uranium oxide in a mixed acid added with a reducing agent. The valance states of the uranium in the prepared solutions were identified by separating two ions with a Dowex AG 50W-X8 cation exchange resins and measuring the solutions using a laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. However, U(IV) and U(VI) were not separated by a Lichroprep Si60 exchange resin in the same separation condition of Pu(IV) and Pu(VI).

사용후핵연료를 지하 심부에 처분하였을 경우 예상되는 원자가가 4가인 우라늄(U(IV)) 이온을 제조하여 6가 우라늄(U(VI)) 이온과 분리하였다. U(IV) 이온을 제조하기 위하여 우라닐 용액에 몇 가지 환원제를 첨가하거나 환원제가 들어있는 혼합산으로 우라늄 산화물을 용해하는 시험을 수행하였다. 제조한 용액중 우라늄의 원자가는 Dowex AG 50W-X8 양이온교환수지에 의한 두 이온의 분리 및 레이저 유도 형광 분광광도계로 용액을 측정하여 확인하였다. 그러나 Lichroprep Si60 교환수지를 사용하였을 경우 Pu(IV)와 Pu(VI)의 분리조건으로 U(IV)와 U(VI)가 분리되지 않았다.
