A process of making americium by bombarding plutonium or uranium with neutrons or deuterons and aging the mass for decay of the plutonium formed to americium is described. The americium may then be separated by dissolving the mass in aqueous acid and carrier precipitation of the americium, especially on lanthanum or cerous fluoride. (AEC)
