Molten salts are an important reaction medium in the reprocessing of spent oxide nuclear fuel. In the conventional process, the oxide mix in the spent fuel is first reduced chemically in a melt of LiCl to the corresponding metals. The metal mix formed is then separated in a eutectic melt of LiCl/KCl by electro-deposition. The FFC-Cambridge Process is a relatively new metallurgical oxide
