Critical Assembly of Uranium Metal at an Average U236 Concentration of 16-1/4%

A uranium metal critical assembly consisted of a 15 inch diameter core with an average U235 content of 16-1/4%, surrounded by a 3 inch thick natural uranium reflector. The critical mass was 692 kg of core material.

The Activation of Low-Reactivity Uranium Dioxide Particles (open access)

The Activation of Low-Reactivity Uranium Dioxide Particles

A detailed study of the activation of low-reactivity UO2 particles toward HF by successive oxidation and reduction was carried out. The effect of repeated successive oxidation and reduction on the reactivity of the UO2 source material toward HF was evaluated by hydrofluorination.
