THE PREPARATION OF HIGH-PURITY PLUTONIUM METAL

Journal Article · · J. Inorg. & Nuclear Chem.
High-purity alpha -phase plutonium metal was produced by a process which consisted of two successive peroxide precipitations, direct hydrofluorination with gaseous hydrogen fluoride, and reduction to metal with calcium and iodine booster.'' The total detectable impurities in the metal produced varied from 94 to 276 ppm. (auth)
