We have been developing a hybrid process combining solvent extraction and low pressure loss extraction chromatography for recovering trivalent minor actinides (MA(III):Am, Cm), which will decrease the waste and have good saftey and economic performances. In this presentation, the outline of R&D program and some recent results will be introduced.
