The UO/sub 3/ conversion plant at Paducah, Ky., is described. The three reaction steps, H/sub 2/-reduction to UO/sub 2/, hydrofluorination to UF/sub 4/, and fluorination to UF/sub 6/, are extremely exothermic requiring close control. Other unique features and equipment of the plant are described. (T.R.H.)
