    摘要: An effective method for purifying plutonium hexafluoride for the reprocessing of the spent nuclear fuel or for the recovery of fuel plutonium from the scrap by fluoride-volatility with high decontamination factors is presented using a selective adsorption of the fission products fluorides by letting the gas mixture flow through a layer of an adsorbent consisting of one or more of the specified compounds selected from hexafluoro sodium aluminate, zinc fluoride, nickel fluoride and ferric fluoride at an elevated temperature. The principle of the purification method is based on the fact that the fluorides of the fission products are easily adsorbed by the adsorbent but little plutonium hexafluoride is adsorbed. The fluorides of the fission products are easily removed from the adsorbent by heating and the recycling use of the adsorbent is possible.

    摘要: This invention relates to a novel method and a novel generator, or source, for providing gaseous negative ions of selected metal hexafluorides. The method is summarized as follows: in an evacuated zone, reacting gaseous fluorine with an actinide-metal body selected from the group consisting of uranium, plutonium, neptunium, and americium to convert at least part of the metal to the hexafluoride state, thus producing gaseous negatively charged metal-hexafluoride ions in the evacuated zone, and applying an electric field to the zone to remove the ions therefrom. The ion source comprises a chamber defining a reaction zone; means for evacuating the zone; an actinide-metal body in the zone, the metal being uranium, plutonium, neptunium, or americium; means for contacting the body with gaseous fluorine to convert at least a part thereof to the hexafluoride state; and means for applying an electric field to the evacuated zone to extract gaseous, negatively charged metal-hexafluoride ions therefrom. The invention provides unique advantages over conventional surface-ionization techniques for producing such ions.

    摘要: A method for preparing plutonium-238 (Pu-238) includes using a nuclear reactor in irradiating a liquid containing a neptunium-237 (Np-237) based compound with neutrons to convert a portion of the Np-237 based compound to a Np-238 based compound; retaining the liquid containing the resulting mixture for a sufficient amount of time for the Np-238 based compound to at least partially convert to a Pu-238 based compound; and separating the Pu-238 based compound from the neptunium based compounds using fractional distillation or a chemical separation method.
