The following studies are reported on: calorimetry and thermodynamics of nuclear materials; actinide recovery and purification; optimization of the cation exchange process for recovering americium and plutonium from molten salt extraction residues; decontamination of soil; secondary actinide recovery; evaluation of tributyl phosphate-impregnated sorbent for plutonium-uranium separations; comparison of cation exchange recovery of actinides from the NaCl--KCl--MgCl/sub 2/ and CaCl/sub 2/--KCl--MgCl/sub 2/ systems; combined anion exchange-bidentate organophosphorous extraction process for molten salt extraction residues; recovery of actinides from combustible wastes; actinide recovery and recycle preparation for waste streams; processing Leco crucible residues containing a tin accelerator; dissolution of refractory residues in hydrochloric acid; metal distillation; induction-heated, tilt-pour furnace; plutonium from backlog salts; and plutonium peroxide precipitation process.
