Abstract
Possibilities of electromagnetic separation of the metallic components of spent nuclear reactor fuel elements, according to the materials from which they are made, are investigated. This has advantages in the reprocessing and disposal cycle of fuel management. A design study for a prototype separator, involving no moving parts, is described, and practical problems involved in handling hazardous materials considered.
