    Abstract: A method for treating spent nuclear fuel, which includes first decontaminating the uranium, plutonium and neptunium found in a nitric aqueous phase resulting from dissolving the nuclear fuel in HNO3. The uranium, plutonium and neptunium found in the solvent phase is then split in a first aqueous phase and a second aqueous phase. Next, the first aqueous phase is stored. Following, the plutonium or other mixtures found in the first aqueous phase is purified relative to the fission products still found in said phase, in order to obtain, at the end of said purification, an aqueous solution containing a mixture of Pu and U or Pu, U and Np. Finally the resulting mixture of Pu and U or the mixture of Pu, U and Np is co-converted into a mixed oxide.

    Abstract: A process for reprocessing a spent nuclear fuel and for preparing a mixed uranium-plutonium oxide. The process: a) separates the uranium and plutonium from fission products, americium, and curium that are present in an aqueous nitric solution resulting from dissolution of the fuel in nitric acid, the separating including at least one operation of coextracting the uranium and plutonium from the solution by a solvent phase; b) partitions the coextracted uranium and plutonium to a first aqueous phase containing plutonium and uranium, and a second aqueous phase containing uranium but no plutonium; c) purifies the plutonium and uranium that are present in the first aqueous phase; and d) coconverts the plutonium and uranium to a mixed uranium/plutonium oxide.
