Description/Abstract:
The possibility exists that nuclear reactions may be operated with fuels composed of refractory materials. Smith in part I of this series of papers has outlined a decontamination process based on chloride volatility. It appears that another possible method which should be considered would include a single cycle extraction step as a decontamination method.
