Conference ·
OSTI ID:561228

This paper discusses efforts towards LEU substitution in two HEU targets. One type is the Cintichem target, a closed cylinder with a thin coating of uranium dioxide electroplated ion the inside wall. To successfully increase the amount of uranium per target, we are developing a target that uses LEU metal foil. Uranium surface preparation is discussed.
