IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO MATERIALS FOR SHIELDING AGAINST RADIATION
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4069414
A simple method is given for manufacturing a uraniumtungsten alloy material for uas as a shielding material in radioisotope contniners. This method consists in compressing tungsten powder on or as the container and impregnating the compressed tungsten power with molten uranium or a molten uranium alloy in vacuum or an inert atmosphere. The materials obtained have a density of approximately 19 g/cm/sup 3/ and have good machinability. It is possible to produce materials with a uranium content up to -40% (using tungsten with 40% voids). (D.L.C.)
