Dry Fluoride Process Status Report

Technical report outlining how uranium hexaflouride was prepared be the direct combination of irradiated uranium metal with elemental fluorine and subsequently decontaminated by adsorption, filtration, and sublimation on a laboratory scale. Report proposes a survey of other methods of preparing UF6 from uranium metal, a study of adsorption techniques for removing plutonium from UF6, and an investigation of fractional distillation for removing the volatile fission product fluorides from UF6.
