Pilot Plant Fluorination of Uranium Fuel Elements by Bromine Trifluoride

Description: Report issued by the Brookhaven National Laboratory discussing methods of processing reactor fuels such as uranium. As stated in the objective, "the primary objective of the project was to determine the effect of temperature, solution composition, and flow rate on the dissolving time for natural uranium slugs of varying history" (p. 2). This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Accident in Continuous-Dissolver Pilot Plant of Fluoride Volatility Project on May 15, 1957

Description: The so-called Fluoride Volatility Processes refer to several proposed non-aqueous methods of processing irradiated fuel elements. In each of these methods, the uranium is fluorinated to UF6 and then decontaminated by distillation. One of those methods, involving the direct fluorination of the uranium by bromine trifluoride (BTF), has been under investigation at BNL since 1950. In 1952, it was demonstrated at BNL that uranium, as UF6, could be satisfactorily decontaminated by distillation in sma… more
