Nuclear power has once again attracted from all over the world due to many factors including the rise in oil process and environmental concerns on greenhouse gas emission resulting in global warming. However, spent fuel from nuclear power reactors is an enormous problem both from radiation hazard and economical point of view. Therefore, this review presents an overview of application of ionic liquids (ILs) in spent fuel reprocessing, particularly in the extraction of high-level radioactive aqueous waste from the processing of nuclear fuel.
