PROCESS FOR SEPARATING URANIUM FISSION PRODUCTS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4241792
; ;

The removal of fission products such as strontium, barium, cesium, rubidium, or iodine from neutronirradiated uranium is described. Uranium halide or elemental halogen is added to melted irradiated uranium to convert the fission products to either more volatile compositions which vaporize from the melt or to higher melting point compositions which separate as solids.
