METHOD OF PRODUCING U$sup 23$$sup 3$
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4126322
A method for producing U/sup 233/ is outlined in which a body of thorium carbonate is heated to at least 200 deg C until it attains a constant weight and compressing the body into a pellet having a density of at least 2.6 g/cm/sup 3/. The pellet is enclosed in a sealed container and placed in the blanket of a thermal nuclear reactor having a neutron flux in which the majority of neutrons have an energy of below I Mev. The pellet is removed from the flux before the ratio of U/sup 233/ to Th/sup 232/ is about 1: 100.
