Precipitation of Crystalline Uranium and Thorium Peroxide: Applications to Fuel-Element Oxides and Purifications (open access)

Precipitation of Crystalline Uranium and Thorium Peroxide: Applications to Fuel-Element Oxides and Purifications

Departures from the usual precipitation method produced crystalline uranium peroxide in several forms. Three types of segregated needles were used in the preparation of three pellets for pellet-type elements. Densities of the pellets ranged from 93 to 97% of theoretical, depending on conditions of precipitation.

Synthesis of Dimethyl Selenide (open access)

Synthesis of Dimethyl Selenide

The preparation of essentially pure dimethyl selenide for the Isotype Separations Group, Chemistry Division, is described. The compound was prepared by warming a mixture of selenium, sodium hydroxide, sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate in aqueous solution for several hours at 50°C and then adding methyl iodide. Dimethyl selenide was removed by distillation.
