Division Spotlight
Decommissioning & Environmental Sciences
The mission of the Decommissioning and Environmental Sciences (DES) Division is to promote the development and use of those skills and technologies associated with the use of nuclear energy and the optimal management and stewardship of the environment, sustainable development, decommissioning, remediation, reutilization, and long-term surveillance and maintenance of nuclear-related installations, and sites. The target audience for this effort is the membership of the Division, the Society, and the public at large.

Framatome, KHNP to investigate producing Lu-177 in South Korea
Framatome and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to explore the possibility of producing the medical isotope Lutetium-177 at KHNP’s Wolsong nuclear power plant in South Korea. The companies also will investigate the feasibility of using the plant to support Korean production of medical radioisotopes in the future.

The research for the performance improvement of the Liquid Phase Chemical Exchange (LPCE) column has been carried out at Nagoya University in collaboration with National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) and Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe (TLK). Kogel catalysts and Dixon gauze rings were mixed at a certain ratio and packed in the column in a random manner. Performance tests of tritium separation by the column using tritiated water of 26 kBq/cm3 in the electrolyzer were performed at the TLK experimental facility. An effect of axial mixing on the separative performance of the column was examined by a stage-wise model, named "Channeling stage model." It was suggested by the analyses that quite a long-distance axial mixing generated in the water phase.
