2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a reprocessing process of nuclear fuel, only hexavalent uranium (U) and tetravalent plutonium (Pu) are extracted from an aqueous nitric acid solution in which spent fuel is dissolved to obtain fission products (FP). An organic solvent composed of tributyl phosphate (TBP), which has a chemical property that does not extract water, and its diluent is used. This organic solvent undergoes radioactive or chemical decomposition during prolonged use under solution conditions containing a radionuclide and nitric acid, resulting in dibutyl phosphate (H
DBP), or to produce a variety of organic substances such as monobutyl phosphate (H 2 MBP). Organic substances such as HDBP
It forms a chemically stable complex compound with U, Pu, and FP, and has process effects such as a decrease in the recovery rate of U and Pu and a decrease in the decontamination performance of FP.

Conventionally, alkaline reagents used as detergents for organic solvents include sodium carbonate, hydrazine carbonate and hydrazine oxalate. However, the method using these reagents has the following problems.
In the method using sodium carbonate, a large amount of secondary waste of sodium salt is finally generated, so that the burden on waste disposal is large. In the method using a hydrazine-based reagent, a sufficient safety design is required because hydrogen azide and the like are generated when a hydrazine-containing waste liquid after use is decomposed.
