Transforming the Uranium Fuel Cycle: Safe & Economical Conversion of DUF6 to DUF4
The goal of this rapid response project was to show that DUF6 can be converted to DUF4 using hexamethyldisilane (HMDS), producing trimethylsilyl fluoride (TMS-F) as a by-product. These would represent a significant improvement in the safety and economy of the current DUF6 to DUF4 downconversion, which produces HF as a by-product.
