THE REACTIONS OF BROMINE TRIFLUORIDE WITH PLUTONIUM, URANIUM AND THEIR COMPOUNDS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4339022
Plutonium and its compounds were shown to be very much less reactive towards bromine trifluoride than the corresponding uranium compounds. This is most probably due to the greater stability of UF/sub 6/ over PuF/sub 6/ and the fact that plutonium systems tend to produce protective films of a non-volatile lower fluoride. Oxides of the Group V elements have a marked catalytic effect on the reaction of bromine trifluoride with metallic uranium and plutonium, while considerably less catalytic effect is shown by potassium fluoride and by bromine. The mechanism of the reaction between uranium and bromine trifluoride is discussed. (auth)
