THE MAGNESIUM REDUCTION OF URANIUM TETRAFLUORIDE. THERMODYNAMIC CONSIDERATIONS IN THE CHOICE OF LINING MATERIALS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4289315
>Thermodynamic aspects of various reactions were investigated in selecting a lining material for UF/sub 4/ reduction reactors in which Mg is used. It was concluded that thoria or beryllia are most suitable; however, the possibility of reducing the reactivity of magnesia or lime for UF/sub 4/ by some form of dead burning or fusion, thus reducing the rate of reaction to a negligible value, is being considered.
