FIELD: processing and recycling of wastes.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to nitride spent nuclear fuel (SNF) recycling methods. Method of nitride spent nuclear fuel recycling in salt melts includes uranium ions cathodic reduction, preparation of electrolyte in nitride spent nuclear fuel recycling device. Preparation of electrolyte is performed in inert gas atmosphere by nitride spent nuclear fuel continuous anode dissolution with their subsequent electrochemical reduction on liquid metal cathode in molten chloride electrolyte at temperature of not exceeding 500 °C.
EFFECT: invention enables to increase electrolysis current, reduce beginning of SNF components separation time on liquid metal cathode.
