This is the last in a series of quarterly progress reports on research and development studies performed for the Alternate Fuel Cycle Technologies/Thorium Fuel Cycle Technologies/International Spent Fuel Receipt and Storage (AFCT/TFCT/ISFS) Program. This program provided information needed by industry to close the back end of the power reactor fuel cycle. During the last quarter. studies were conducted on the following task: Thorium Resource Price Analyses; Investigation of Air Cleaning Processes for Removing Tributyl Phosphate from Off-Gas Streams; Study of Iodine Chemistry in Process Solutions; High-Level Waste Treatment; Electropolishing to Decontaminate Metallic Waste from Alternate and Thorium Converter Fuel Cycles; US Scale Transport, Dispersion and Removal Model Comparison; Safety Criticality Experiments; and Criticality Research in Support of Thorium Fuel Cycle Technology Program
