    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for pre-separating nuclides in spent fuel, comprising steps: S1. generating a temperature of 1200 to 1600° C. in a center of a fuel element, and at the same time introducing a cooling medium to an outer surface of the fuel element, to introduce a temperature difference to heat the fuel element; S2. soaking cooled spent fuel in an ionic liquid to selectively dissolve fission products and transuranic elements, so that the fission products and the transuranic elements are pre-separated from the spent fuel. The method achieves the effect of pre-separating part of the fission products and transuranic elements by physical methods, and solves the problem that homogenization in traditional post-processing technology causes obstacles to nuclide separation.
