Studies and research concerning BNFP: conversion of neptunium nitrate to neptunium oxide. Final report
- Allied-General Nuclear Services, Barnwell, SC (United States)
Means of converting neptunium nitrate to neptunium oxide were studied, as part of a study of a fuel cycle concept based on increasing the isotopic concentration of Pu-238. The process chosen was one entailing precipitation of neptunium as an oxalate and calcination of the oxalate to neptunium oxide. A quantitative flowsheet was developed, representing the conversion of 6 kilograms of neptunium per day.
