ABS>Uranium tetrafiuoride and magnesium metal are compacted, e.g. compressed into pellets, so as to raise appreciably the bulk density of the charge. The density should be at least 3 g/cc. lf the two reactants are rapidly heated to the temperature of initiation of the reaction, a consistent yield of uranium metal may be obtained. Hitherto large-scale production (batches of 100 kg) using magnesium instead of calcium for the reduction of the tetrafluoride has not been satisfactory because of serious variations in respect of efficiency from batch to batch.
