A brief summary of recent British work on the powder metallurgy of uranium and thorium is presented. Uranium powder is produced directly from urania following production of a stable homogeneous oxide, attained by decomposing ammonium diuranate. The urania thus produced is reduced with calcium or magnesium, followed by compacting and sintering. Thorium powder is produced by reduction of thoria with calcium. Sintering and compacting and the resulting slugs are discussed. (J.R.D.)
