NEUP CINR-25-34155: Characterizing multivalent states of fission products (Sm, Eu, and Te) in molten salts for their recovery and stabilization

This project aims to investigate fission product elements of samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), and tellurium (Te) in molten salts by elucidating their multivalent states dependent upon redox conditions in molten salts. Understanding these multivalent states is important because they significantly influence the chemical behavior, solubility, and partitioning of these elements, which are critical factors for optimizing separation processes and improving the efficiency of nuclear fuel recycling.
