OSTI ID:6072195
The National Lead Company of Ohio (NLO) operates a large-scale integrated facility for the production of uranium ingots, fuel cores, and miscellaneous parts by chemical and metallurgical techniques. This paper describes the melting and casting equipment at NLO, shows how this equipment is used to produce dilute uranium alloys, and displays the various geometries cast within these facilities.
