THE TREATMENT OF IRRADIATED THORIUM (in French)

Journal Article · · Bull. Inform. Sci. Tech. (Paris)
OSTI ID:4735152
The in-pile irradiation of natural thorium yields a fissile material: U/ sup 233/. The treatment of irradiated thorium was the object of studies carried out on a small pilot-plant scale. The principle governing the various operations of the process used, the difficulties encountered, and the first results obtained are described. The U/sup 233/ loss was 2.5 x 10/sup -3/ and that of thorium was 8 x 10/sup -3/. The main difficulty was the decontamination of thorium and uranium of Pa/sup 233/. The final purification on ion-exchange resins makes this possible, however. (auth)
