Patent AT-E400879-T1: [Translated] HEADEND PROCESS FOR REPROCESSING REACTOR CORE MATERIAL

In a head-end process for the reprocessing of reactor core material with embedded fuel particles, reactor core material is arranged in a reactor containing a fluid. The reactor comprises a voltage discharge installation in the fluid. Voltage discharges are applied through the fluid for fragmenting the fuel particles into fragmentation products and the fragmentation products are segregated.
