Abstract
The invention relates to the use of butyraldehyde oxime as an anti-nitrous agent in a plutonium stripping operation based on a reduction of this element from oxidation state (IV) to oxidation state (III). Applications: any nuclear fuel reprocessing process in which employing a compound that has the twofold property of being extractable into an organic phase and of being capable of destroying the nitrous acid therein may be useful and especially any process including one or more operations for the reductive stripping of plutonium.
