Preliminary survey, Reactor formation of rhenium-tungsten alloy
This document considers the costs of rhenium formation as produced by irradiating tungsten. Two isotopic compositions of tungsten are considered for the study. The cost for reactor-formed rhenium appears to be prohibitively high -- over $20 per gram. This cost would exist for tungsten containing 90% 186, 9, 184, and 1% tungsten 182 and 183. The cost of alloy made fro natural isotopic compositions of tungsten would be higher by a factor of 3, and would take prohibitively long to produce significant quantities of rhenium. Thus, detailed numbers are not shown or considered for the natural isotopic composition of tungsten.
