A CHEMICAL METHOD OF TREATING FISSIONABLE MATERIAL
Abstract
One step of a process for separating plutonium from uranium and fission products is presented. A nitric acid solution containing these constituents is treated with formic acid to reduce simultaneously the plutonium to a valence state of not greater than +4 and destroy and eliminate the excess nitric acid.
