A preliminary study of the volatility behavior of molybdenum indicated that MoF/sub 5/ was converted to MoF/sub 6/ by F/sub 2/; MoF/sub 6/ and Tc fluoride are absorbed on NaF at 100; technetium fluoride is more strongly held than molybdenum fluoride on NaF; MoF/sub 6/ may not be completely trapped by a dry ice trap. The behavior of volatile fission product fluorides was such that (a) Ru and Nb fluorides were volatile from fused salts during fluorination, (b) Mo and technetium were not volatile during hydrofluorination but were in excess F/ sub 2/> 100 deg C(auth).
