Chemical Processing Department monthly report, December 1959
Description:
Production of Pu nitrate from separations plants exceeded commitments. Two Np recovery runs were made, a routine one at Purex and a demonstration run at Redox. Total Np recovered in CY 1959 was 5.7 kg. The UO{sub 3} plant production and shipments also met commitments. Production of unfabricated Pu metal continued. Process studies are being conducted in Purex to resolve the problems in the Np recovery effort. A new solvent (hexone) condensate decanter was operated in Redox. Reprocessing of nonproduction reactor fuels is being reviewed. (DLC)
