SOME EXPERIMENTS ON THE FUSED SALT PROCESSING OF LIQUID METAL FUELS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4334241
The reaction between a fused sodium, potassium, magnesium chloride eutectic and a liquid bismuth solution containing small amouats of a rare earth cerium (~ 100 ppm by wt) and uranium (~ 1000 ppm by wt) is considered. Experimental results are given for the transfer of cerium and uranium from the metal to the salt phase in a silica container. It is concluded that contamination from this container presents serious difficulties to an electrolytic method for the processing of liquid metal fuels. (auth)
