The PUREX (plutonium uranium reduction extraction) is a 5x5x5 pseudo-multiblock that can reprocess depleted nuclear fuel into various materials. Most recipes require both nitric acid and kerosene to function.
Schrabidium can also be extracted from certain recipes, which require schrabidic acid. The schrabidium extracted yields double the schrabidium used to make the acid.

| Recipe: PUREX
Duration: 15.0 seconds Consumption: 100 HE/t |

Usage
The PUREX's GUI is visually similar to both the chemical plant and the assembly machine, with it having a template button on the bottom left corner where recipes are chosen. It has 3 input slots and 3 input fluid slots and 6 output slots and 1 output fluid slot with a buffer of 1.0 MHE.
It is able to:
- Reprocess depleted ZIRNOX, PWR, Watz and plate fuel.
- Reprocess depleted liquid thorium salt.
- Reprocess depleted ICF fuel pellets.
- Vitrify nuclear waste.
- Extract schrabidium from schraranium, ZIRNOX plutonium fuel, and PWR MEP and MEN fuel.
Some recipes are part of an auto switch group, which means that the recipe changes based on the ingredient and if it's in the same group. There are 5 auto switch groups, those being:
- Reprocessing ZIRNOX Fuel
- Reprocessing Plate Fuel
- Reprocessing PWR Fuel
- Reprocessing Watz Pellet
- Schrabidium Extraction
Trivia
- The usage of kerosene and nitric acid is a reference to how PUREX works in real life.
