Evaluation of anion exchange resins for processing plutonium--neptunium residues

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5386502· OSTI ID:5386502
An anion exchange process was developed to process miscellaneous residues of plutonium plus 0.5 wt % neptunium to allow prompt return of the plutonium to a plutonium recovery process. Several macroreticular anion exchange resins were compared to Dowex 1-X4 for the process. Dowex 1-X4 showed the best performance for the plutonium (III)-neptunium(IV) separation.
