Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein is a method of separating group II nuclides from a radioactive waste lithium chloride salt and recovering renewable lithium chloride, comprising the steps of: injecting lithium oxide into a lithium chloride salt containing group II nuclides to convert the group II nuclides into thermally-stable oxide or oxychloride; and vaporizing and condensing the lithium chloride salt under a reduced pressure condition to separate the group II nuclides and recover recyclable lithium chloride. The method is advantageous in that group II nuclides existing in the form of chloride, which is not highly thermally-stable in a lithium chloride (LiCl) to salt and is not easily solidified, can be converted into oxides or oxychlorides, which is highly thermally-stable in the lithium chloride (LiCl) salt and is easily solidified, without producing impurities.
