Radioactive contamination may also be an inevitable result of certain processes, such as the release of radioactive xenon in nuclear fuel reprocessing.

During fuel reprocessing, it appears in the waste liquid, which is highly radioactive.

High-level radioactive waste: the radioactive material resulting from spent nuclear fuel reprocessing.

Fluoride volatility can also be exploited for nuclear fuel reprocessing.

Complexes of the plutonyl ion are important in nuclear fuel reprocessing.

Nuclear fuel reprocessing is performed routinely in Europe, Russia and Japan.

The design of the fuel makes fuel reprocessing expensive.

Americans have been told that any nuclear fuel reprocessing is equivalent to being within reach of making bombs.

Plants in England provide substantial net spent fuel reprocessing and radioactive waste management for Scotland.

In this context, fuel reprocessing is just as important as operational safety.
