abstract = {It is clear that closed nuclear fuel cycles with the
recycling of spent nuclear fuels can enhance the
sustainabilityof nuclear energy (Taylor et al. 2022a,
2022b). In Europe two strands of research have been
followed: (a) theheterogeneous recycling of (U,Pu) in the
PUREX process followed by a minor actinide separation
process(Geist et al., 2021) and (b) the homogeneous
recycling of actinides in a grouped actinide extraction
(GANEX)process. The GANEX option has some advantages since
it is based on fully decomposable (“CHON”) solventsand
produces separate uranium and transuranic products – this
adds a proliferation barrier due to theplutonium being mixed
with minor actinides.The first GANEX cycle (GANEX-1) to
separate the bulk uranium uses a monoamide as a selective
extractant.The second cycle is more complex and a number of
concepts have been developed in Europe over the last15+
years, including within European collaborative projects
(ACSEPT, SACSESS, GENIORS). The GANEX-2cycle requires
innovative solvent formulations capable of co-extracting
plutonium and the minor actinides(including neptunium) as
well as separating the trivalent minor actinides from the
lanthanides. Processes havebeen developed and tested on the
lab scale, including hot tests with spent fuel (Lyseid
Authen et al., 2022).The various solvent extraction
processes are briefly introduced, the most suitable choices
are pointed out, andthe process schemes are compared to one
another.Geist, A.; Adnet, J.-M.; Bourg, S.; Ekberg, C.;
