Abstract
The technology gaps in our understanding of annular centrifugal contactors (ACCs) for the next generation of spent nuclear fuel recycling are being investigated in a modern setting. This article reports on the unique-in-the-UK capabilities that the University of Leeds’s Nuclear Engineering Group has established, as a partner of the AFCP, for testing and developing ACCs from laboratory to engineering scales and state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models.
