    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for recycling of a sodium salt by decomposition of a sodium nitride liquid waste. The process comprises: a neutralization step in which a nitric acid liquid waste or an off-gas having nitric acid dissolved therein which is produced through a wet reprocessing process comprising a dissolution step for dissolving a spent nuclear fuel in nitric acid is neutralized by adding or contacting the nitrate liquid waste or the off-gas to or with at least one sodium salt selected from sodium hydroxide, sodium hydrogencarbonate and sodium carbonate, thereby yielding a sodium nitrate liquid waste; a sodium nitrate-decomposition step in which the sodium nitrate liquid waste is reductively decomposed with a reducing agent, thereby decomposing sodium nitrate into a nitrogen gas and the sodium salt; and a recycle step for recycling the sodium salt into the neutralization step or wet reprocessing process. The sodium nitrate liquid waste obtained in the neutralization step may be concentrated by evaporation to give a concentrated sodium nitrate liquid waste, and the condensed sodium nitrate liquid waste may be reductively decomposed in the sodium nitrate-decomposition step.
