The chemical process is very difficult, dangerous and expensive; solvent extraction is a good method of separation. The process is called PUREX.

What materials can be used as fuels for a nuclear reactor?

The primary materials used as fuels in nuclear reactors are enriched uranium and plutonium. Enriched uranium is the most common fuel used, while plutonium is often formed as a byproduct during nuclear fission. Other potential fuel materials include thorium and mixed oxides (MOX) fuel, which combine uranium and plutonium.


Can elements be separated into simpler materials?

No element can be separated into simpler materials; the constituent parts of atoms (protons, neutrons, and neutrons) can not constitute stable materials by themselves, but only in combinations with some of the other constituents.
