Good Idea to split it off Cd. It looks much better here in it's own space. --DV8 2XL 17:25, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A vital fact not explained or mentioned early

It was bad that the PUREX process was not explained as an ion-exchange process right in the first paragraph and other places, so I put it in. In the article on liquid-liquid extraction, the ion-exchange process is mentioned prominently, as it should be, but not everyone wants to click to a half-dozen articles to get the basic info that they want.74.249.77.168 (talk) 23:51, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dead link

During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

Technical detail

Just rewrote the Overview section in an attempt to make it friendlier to less sophisticated readers, based on some confusions I had on first reading of the prior version. Mine was based on facts gleaned from this and related Wikipedia articles, but I found myself having to "fudge" on at least one point: the extent to which other actinoid elements (besides U and Pu) are carried along in the primary extraction phases.

Any reprocessing experts out there ? Mrnatural (talk) 02:05, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The formula was a mess; this book may help. Dicklyon (talk) 21:56, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
