Aqueous processing is necessary for the removal of impurities from 238Pu dioxide (238PuO2) scrap due to unacceptable levels of 234U and other non-actinide impurities. 238PuO2 is used to supply the thermal energy in General Purpose Heat Sources (GPHS). Impurities at levels above GPHS fuel specifications may impair the performance of the heat source. Efforts at Los Alamos have focused on developing the bench scale methodology for the aqueous process steps which include comminution, dissolution, ion exchange, precipitation, and calcination. Recently, work has been performed to qualify the bench scale methodology, to show that the developed process produces 238PuO2 that meets GPHS fuel specifications. This work has also enabled us to determine how liquid waste may be minimized during fullscale processing. Results of process qualification for the bench scale aqueous recovery operation and waste minimization efforts will be presented. .
