【美国《核学会汇刊))1982年第43卷第90页报道】三个贵金属——钯、铑、钉以及锝都可以从反应堆的裂变产物中回收。表l列出1973—2000年美国累积需要量和从商用反应堆的裂变产物废物中可以回收的量。1吨从商用反应堆卸出的辐照燃料含有的这些贵金属约值20,000美元。从裂变产物中回收这些贵金属可以满足美国对铂 [U.S. Journal of the Nuclear Society of the United States) 1982, Volume 43, p. 90.] Three noble metals—palladium, rhodium, tantalum, and niobium—are recovered from the reactor fission products. Table 1 lists the accumulated U.S. demand from 1973 to 2000 and the amount that can be recovered from the fission product waste of commercial reactors. One ton of irradiated fuel discharged from commercial reactors contains approximately $20,000 of these precious metals. Recovery of these precious metals from fission products can satisfy U.S. platinum
