A dangerous and unregulated method of extracting cannabis. Open blasting takes place within a glass or metal tube and is a solvent-based extraction performed without a closed-loop system. Due to the risk of explosion, open blasting is considered a potentially dangerous process and is not used in commercial extraction facilities. 4, record 1, English, - open%20blasting%20extraction

L'utilisation d'absorbants neutroniques à base d'éléments ayant une forte section efficace de capture neutronique est parfois nécessaire pour compléter les autres méthodes de contrôle du risque de criticité. Il s'agira par exemple des matériaux borés placés dans les structures internes des emballages de transport de combustibles irradiés [ces emballages, une fois chargés des assemblages combustibles (12 assemblages dans le cas du combustible REP [réacteur à eau pressurisée]), doivent rester sous-critiques lors de leur immersion dans l'eau non borée de la piscine de déchargement] ou bien du gadolinium introduit dans le dissolveur de l’usine de retraitement pour traiter du combustible plus enrichi que le combustible de référence retenu pour le dimensionnement de cet appareil. 1, record 2, French, - piscine%20de%20d%C3%A9chargement

Pyrometallurgical processes … the challenge lies in the full separation, and full recovery, in terms of quantity, of actinides from the salt bath, upstream of refabrication. The process affording the highest potential, as regards carrying out this operation, is reductive chemical extraction by means of a molten metal. One binary system of interest, for such separation, is the aluminum–fluoride system : LiF–AlF3/Al–Cu(high selectivity with regard to extraction of actinides, compared with fission products, high actinide solubility in aluminum…). 1, record 3, English, - reductive%20chemical%20extraction

Procédés pyrométallurgiques […] Comme pour les procédés hydrométallurgiques, l’enjeu réside dans la séparation et la récupération quasiment intégrales des actinides du sel en amont de la refabrication. Le procédé offrant le plus fort potentiel pour réaliser cette opération est l’extraction réductrice chimique par un métal fondu. L’un des systèmes binaires possibles d’intérêt pour cette séparation est le système aluminium-fluorures LiF-AlF3/Al-Cu. Ce système possède une forte sélectivité pour l’extraction des actinides vis-à-vis des produits de fission et une solubilité élevée des actinides dans l’aluminium. 1, record 3, French, - extraction%20r%C3%A9ductrice%20chimique
