On exposure of thorium to slow neutrons a small amount of uranium is formed in the irradiated material. From the irradiation product an aqueous solution is prepared of thorium and uranium nitrates the proportion of nitrate: water ranging from 0.7: 1 to 1.4: 1 and the proportion of uranium: thorium not exceeding 1: 50. This solution is treated with diethyl ether resulting in preferential extraction of the uranium.
