Description

"A study has been made of the distribution of tracer fission products and plutonium between small samples of molten uranium and solid uranium oxide, carbine, and nitride. The distribution showed the same behavior i general for all three materials: 1. The rare earth elements, Cs, Ba, and Sr were extracted primarily into the solid scrub phase. 2. Zirconium and Nb partially concentrated in the scrub phase. 3. Plutonium, Mo, and Ru tended to remain completely in the metal phase. The distribution of activities agreed with trends predicted from the thermodynamic data. Uranium oxide appeared to be the most desirable scrub … continued below

The distribution of activities agreed with trends predicted from the thermodynamic data. Uranium oxide appeared to be the most desirable scrub material for removing large amounts of fission products from the uranium while leaving beind the Pu. In addition the uranium metal was not severley contaminated by dissolved oxide."
