Abstract
This report deals with the development of a 10 stage mixer settler. The unit is based on extraction conditions expected for processing HIFAR fuel elements, on which information is available, but the equipment can be used for other fuel types. Qualitative experimental work, which as necessary before the multistage unit could be designed with confidence, is reported for a single stage mixer settler. A brief review of the criticality problem for processing U235 enriched fuel is given and actual dimensions are specified for the case of HIFAR elements. The proposed work with the 10 stage unit is given.
