Description/Abstract:
BRIEF SUMMARIES ARE GIVEN OF DISCUSSIONS AT SAVANNAH RIVER AND ORNL ON SEPARATIONS PLANT PROBLEMS, AND AT K-25 ON THE CONVERSION OF CONTINUOUSLY-PRODUCED UO3 AND UF4. AMONG THE TOPICS CONSIDERED ARE: PADDLE PUMPS, CONTINUOUS SOLVENT WASHING, HEAT BALANCES AS A MEASURE OF STAGE EFFICIENCY, SOLVENT QUALITY, SILICA GEL COLUMNS, PREPARATION OF PUF3, RU DECONTAMINATION, JETS, CALCINATION, CONTINUOUS ION EXCHANGE, DECONTAMINATION OF A1-CONTG WASTES, JET CONTACTORS, CONTINUOUS CONVERSION OF UO3 TO UF4 AND UF6. PUREX SOLVENT RECOVERY, CONTINUOUS URANIUM DISSOLUTION AND X-RAY DIFFRACTION ANALYSIS OF REACTIVE OXIDES. TABULAR DATA ARE GIVEN IN UO3 EVALUATION AND PRODUCTION OF UF4 IN FLUIDIZED BED.
