The preparation of UF/sub 4/ using fluidized solids reactors is describied. After nitration, the uranyl nitrate solution is converted to uranium trioxide by thermal decomposition. The trioxide is reduced to dioxide by fluidization with hydrogen and converted to tetrafluoride by the action of hydrofluoric acid. A quadrupole effect evaporator which is associated with the fluidized solids reactor is used to remove most of the water from the uraryl nitrate solution. Descriptions of the reactor and a hydrofluoric acid recovery plant are given. (C.J.G.)
