Chemistry research and development progress report, May 1979 through October 1979

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6767225

Thermodynamics of plutonium hydrides is being studied. Recovery of Am and Pu from various media is under investigation. A process for decontaminating Rocky Flats soil was tested. An improved process for plutonium peroxide precipitation was developed. /sup 242/Pu metal tracer disks were cast. Application of a tilt-pour furnace to the pyroredox process for Pu purification is being investigated. Other pyrochemical processes are being studied. Removal of Zn, Mg, and Ca from Pu is being studied. 11 figures, 11 tables. (DLC)
