The Reactions of Bromine Pentafluoride
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:23134692
Bromine pentafluoride is being considered as a fluorinating agent for use in the fluid-bed reprocessing of spent fuel from nuclear power reactors. The reaction of BrF{sub 6} with mixtures of uranium and plutonium oxides or fluorides converts the uranium to volatile UF{sub 6} while converting the plutonium to the nonvolatile PuF{sub 4} which therefore permits a separation of uranium from plutonium in a single step. In a second step, elemental fluorine is used to convert the PuF{sub 4} to volatile PuF{sub 6}.
