Title: SEPARATION OF FISSION PRODUCTS FROM PLUTONIUM BY PRECIPITATION

Abstract

Fission product separation from hexavalent plutonium by bismuth phosphate precipitation of the fission products is described. The precipitation, according to this invention, is improved by coprecipitating ceric and zirconium phosphates (0.05 to 2.5 grams/liter) with the bismuth phosphate.
