Corrosion of Plutonium Alloys in Nak

Description: A Pu-Al alloy containing 4 at. % Ad showed no attack after exposure to purified NaK for one month at 400 deg C in the absence of any oxide. The same specimen and other Pu alloys, including pure Pu, showed marked deterioration in shorter exposures in the presence of oxide fllms from a welded stainless steel container. Pure U was found to be resistant in the presence of such oxides. (auth)

Corrosion of Plutonium Alloys in NaK

Description: A plutonium-aluminum alloy containing 4 atom per cent aluminum showed no attack after exposure to purified NaK for one month at 400 C in the absence of any oxide. The same specimen and other plutonium alloys, including pure plutonium, showed marked deterioration in shorter exposure in the presence of oxide films from a welded stainless steel container. Pure uranium was resistant even in the presence of such oxides.

Recovery of Uranium From Ore Concentrates

Description: The use of bromine trifluoride solution has been investigated for the preparation of purified uranium hexafluoride from ore concentrates. The best yields were obtained with the use of antimony pentafluoride solutions in bromine trifluoride, and less fluorine was consumed in the case of previously hydro fluorinated samples. This approach appears to be technologically sound and may prove economically superior to existing procedures in the case of newly constructed facilities.
