2/2020• Continued safe operation of the first reprocessing facility in India commissioned in 1964 with maximum availability.
\r\n• Successful plant scale demonstration of processing of Thoria irradiated in power reactor for recovery of SNM.
\r\n• Processing of alpha contaminated waste on plant scale for reducing the volume of alpha contaminated waste going for final disposal along with recovery of valuable radionuclides.

1/201990Y, a pure β-emitter (Emax= 2.28MeV, T1/2 = 64.1h) is a potential therapeutic radionuclide formed by the β- decay of 90Sr, a long-lasting source for carrier-free 90Y milking. Ultrapure 90Sr(NO3)2 of high specific activity required for such application could be achieved using a series of indigenously developed extractants and optimized separation and purification steps. Among the various generator systems, two-stage supported liquid membrane (SLM) based 90Sr-90Y generator developed in-house is found most convenient for milking carrier-free 90Y.

\r\nA two-stage Supported Liquid Membrane based 90Sr-90Y generator system developed in-house is used for milking carrier-free 90Y-acetate. Clinical grade 90Y-acetate in lots of ~130-140 mCi are separated and transported to Radiation Medicine Centre, Parel, BARC for radiopharmaceutical applications. Approved transport procedure by BARC Safety Council is followed for transporting the activity from Trombay to RMC, Parel.

First of its kind in the world reprocessing facility which demonstrated processing of irradiated Thoria in PHWR.
Processing of a very challenging material leading to systematic decrease in alpha contaminated wastes and recovery of valuable radionuclides.
India’s first spent fuel reprocessing plant commissioned in 1964 and operational.
