Patent ·
OSTI ID:4182874

An apparatus for filling a tubular storage receptacle with a dense massive form of uranium chloride is described. The apparatus includes an evacuated housing divided into a vaporizing chamber and a portion adapted to receive the receptacle. A nozzle conducts vaporized uranium chloride from the chamber to the interior of the receptacle. The nozzle is withdrawable to progressively deposit the uranium chloride under controlled conditions to produce a dense sublimate which fills the receptacle.
