Loading ion exchange resins with uranium for HTGR fuel kernels

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7322715· OSTI ID:7322715
;
Uranium-loaded ion exchange beads provide an excellent starting material in the production of uranium carbide microspheres for nuclear fuel applications. Both strong-acid (sulfonate) and weak-acid (carboxylate) resins can be fully loaded with uranium from a uranyl nitrate solution utilizing either a batch method or a continuous column technique.
