Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satisfactory reduction of molten plutonium trichloride (pure and in combination with 20 wt % sodium chloride) by calcium, lanthanum, and cerium has been demonstrated on the 10-g scale. The yields were satisfactory for this scale of operation, and it is indicated that these reductions may be useful for large-scale operations. Significant separations of plutonium from rare earth impurities was demonstrated for lanthanum and cerium reductions. Preparation of plutonium-cerium and plutonium-cerium-cobalt alloys during reduction was also demonstrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes the methods and facilities for DOE's processing of plutonium for use in nuclear weapons. DOE no longer produces plutonium but processes and recycles the plutonium from retired nuclear weapons and the plutonium that remains as scrap or residue from plutonium processing. It has used two basic processes: aqueous and pyrochemical, at four processing sites, although only one site is currently operating. Photos, drawings and charts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Metallurgy of Nuclear Fuel: Properties and Principles of the Technology of Uranium, Thorium and Plutonium is a systematic analysis of the metallurgy of nuclear fuel, with emphasis on the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties as well as the technology of uranium, thorium, and plutonium, together with their alloys and compounds. The minerals and raw material sources of nuclear fuel are discussed, along with the principles of the technology of the raw material processing and the production of the principal compounds, and of the pure metals and alloys. Comprised of three parts, this volume begins with an introduction to the history of the discovery of uranium and its position in the periodic system; its use as a nuclear fuel; radioactivity and isotopic composition; alloys and compounds; and physical, mechanical, and chemical properties. The effect of mechanical and thermal treatment, thermal cycling and irradiation on the physicochemical properties of uranium is also examined. The next two sections are devoted to thorium and plutonium and includes chapters dealing with their uses, alloys and compounds, and methods of recovery and purification. This book is written for university students, but should also prove useful to young production engineers and scientific workers who are concerned with problems in the metallurgy of nuclear fuel.
Download or read book Spiked Alloy Production for Accelerated Aging of Plutonium written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accelerated aging effects on weapons grade plutonium alloys are being studied using 238Pu-enriched plutonium metal to increase the rate of formation of defect structures. Pyrochemical processing methods have been used to produce two 238Pu-spiked plutonium alloys with nominal compositions of 7.5 wt% 238Pu. Processes used in the preparation of the alloys include direct oxide reduction of PuO2 with calcium and electrorefining. Rolled disks were prepared from the spiked alloys for sampling. Test specimens were cut out of the disks for physical property measurements.

Book excerpt: Batches of plutonium dioxide were chlorinated by reaction with phosgene or carbon tetrachloride. Plutonium trichloride prepared by either method can be reduced to the metal in an hermetically sealed bomb by reaction with calcium. It has been demonstrated that a method for the reduction of plutonium trichloride to the metal without the use of a booster can be developed. Soluble plutonium in slag and crucible waste can be precipitated as the hydroxide and washed essentially free of chloride contamination. The concentrated nitric acid solution from dissolution of plutonium hydroxide and other solids contains less than 75 ppm chloride. Of the materials tested the Hastelloy alloys A, B, and C were found to be the most resistant to phosgene corrosion. The corrosion of these alloys was found to lie between 1 x 10−4 and 2 x 10−4 in. per month at 300 deg C and between 1 x 10−3 in. per month at 450 deg C. The logarithm of the corrosion rate plotted as a function of the temperature appears to be linear over the temperature range of 300 to 550 deg C. Above 550 deg C the corrosion rate of all materials tested is excessive. (auth).
