Abstract
The use of hydroxyiminoalkanoic acids including at least four carbon atoms as anti-nitrous agents in operations of reductive stripping of plutonium. The invention may be useful in any method for processing spent nuclear fuels that includes one or more operations of reductive stripping of plutonium and, more particularly, in the PUREX method as implemented in modern nuclear fuel processing plants, as well as in processes derived therefrom.
