Oklo completes end-to-end demonstration of advanced fuel recycling
Oklo Inc. has announced that it has completed the first end-to-end demonstration of its advanced fuel recycling process as part of an ongoing $5 million project in collaboration with Argonne and Idaho National Laboratories. Oklo’s goal: scaling up its fuel recycling capabilities to deploy a commercial-scale recycling facility that would increase advanced reactor fuel supplies and enhance fuel cost effectiveness for its planned sodium fast reactors.

The removal efficiency of methyl iodide for silver-impregnated alumina from gaseous waste has been experimentally evaluated as a function of atmospheric relative humidity. A new adsorbent has been developed for the iodine filter installed in the off-gas treatment system of a radioactive waste tank vent. To improve its removal efficiency under a highly humid atmosphere, the optimum average pore size of alumina was determined to be ∼60 nm, and the most effective chemical form of the impregnated silver was identified as silver nitrate. Holding capability of the impregnated silver was also improved by developing a double-pore-structure alumina.
