Title: U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ powder from uranyl-loaded cation exchange resin

Abstract

Large batches of U/sub 3/O/sub 8/, suitable for powder metallurgy fabrication of Al-U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ cores for reactor fuel tubes, have been produced by deep-bed calcination of granular uranyl-loaded macroporous sulfonate cation exchange resin at 900 to 950/sup 0/C in air. Deep-bed calcination is the backup process for the reference process of rotary calcination and sintering. These processes are to be used for recycling uranium, and to produce U/sub 3/O/sub 8/ in the Fuel Production Facility to be built at the Savannah River Plant. 2 refs., 6 figs.
