EXTRACTION OF POLONIUM FROM MOLTEN BISMUTH WITH FUSED SODIUM HYDROXIDE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4275916
Experimental data show that tracer polonium can be quantitatively separated from bismuth at 500 deg C. The process is applicable to a reactor using bismuth as a coolant. At the end of a run the sodium hydroxide and bismuth are separated and the polonium determined from the alpha activity. The results of several runs are tabulated. (J.E.D.)
