Abstract
The nuclear fuel reprocessing currently used generates liquid wastes w ith a significant level of radioactivity that requires expensive and s pecific treatments. Therefore, in this study, an attempt has been made to develop another process that is more effective and produces less-a ctive wastes by using a poly(4-vinylpyridine) resin as selective mater ial for fixation of metal ions present at trace level, in particular o f nonactive ruthenium and, Ru-106, Nb-95, Sb-125, (144)(Ce + Pr), Am-2 41, Pu, Cm-244.
