ENRICHMENT OF URANIUM 236

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4015638
Neutron-irradiated uranium was electromagnetically separated to provide enrichment of the isotope of mass 236. The final isotopic abundance of U/sup 2// sup 3//sup 6/ was determined to be 95% in 1800 milligrams of uranium. Useful by- products of the program were 22 grams of 25% U/sup 2//sup 3//sup 6/ and 1100 grams of 99.7% U/sup 2//sup 3//sup 5/. These enriched materials were made availsble for use on Atontic Energy Commission projects. Possible application of this separation process to recovery of the fuel from the MTR reactor is described.
