DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONTINUOUS METHOD FOR THE REDUCTION OF URANIUM HEXAFLUORIDE WITH HYDROGEN-PROCESS DEVELOPMENT. COLD WALL REACTOR
A continuous process for the reduction of uranium hexafluoride to uranium tetrafluoride was developed and proven on a pilot plant scale. Complete conversion to uranium tetrafluoride was realized by contacting a mixture of gaseous uranium hexafluoride and fluorine with hydrogen in a vibrated, vertical, open-tube reactor. The finely divided solid product contained few metallic impurities and the packed density of the material could be varied between 2.2 and 3.7 grams per cd. by regulating the amount of fluorine added.
