Abstract

1306896 Plutonium separation UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION 20 Sept 1971 [20 Oct 1970] 43785/71 Heading G6R [Also in Division C1] Plutonium is separated from a UF 6 -PuF 6 mixture by contacting the mixture with particulate cobaltous fluoride at a temperature (e.g. 134-1000‹ F.) such that PuF 6 is selectively reduced to a lower fluoride which is deposited on the cobaltous fluoride. Porous cobaltous fluoride pellets may be prepared by a procedure described in USA Specification 3,372,004. The separation process may constitute the final step in the treatment of spent nuclear fuel in order to produce UF 6 having a Pu content less than 1 part per 109 suitable for isotope separation by gaseous diffusion. Deposited PuF 4 may be reconverted to PuF 6 by passage of F 2 gas at 700-900‹ F. and the porous bed may be regenerated by treatment with H 2 at 400-500‹ F.
