To simulate spent nuclear fuel (SNF) cleaning up from fission products, the concept of a demonstration-imitation separator (DIS) with a plasma rotating in crossed electric and magnetic fields is being clarified. The parameters of a magnetic system consisting of a combination of superconducting and water-cooled windings are presented. The features of plasma drift in a magnetic field of a given geometry are pointed. The estimation of energy consumption for the creation of a magnetic field of the separator, which is ~ 250 kW, has been carried out. A method for removing actinides from a plasma separator into an external container is proposed.
