Title: Studies on the Composition of the Solids in the Fumes Released in the Calciometric Process for Uranium Production; ESTUDIOS SOBRE LA COMPOSICION DE LOS SOLIDOS EN LOS HUMOS DESPRENDIDOS EN EL PROCESO CALCIOTERMICO DE OBTENCION DE URANIO

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4215454

In the dust produced during the thermal reduction of uranium tetrafluoride with calcium, the existence of a beta activity which decays with time was confirmed. The activity was assigned to Th/sup 234/. An enrichment in Th/sup 234/ of approximately 68% over the equilibrium value was found in the dust. An anomalous enrichment in the dust was found for the trace elements Zn, Sn, Pb, and Cu. No enrichment was detected for Fe and Ni. (tr-auth)
