<p>In a process for the enrichment in plutonium of a mixture of uranium and plutonium oxides (see Division G6), the mixture is dissolved at least partially in an anhydrous fused salt bath while passing a chlorinating agent through the bath, followed by electrolytic reduction of the uranyl chloride formed, using graphite electrodes under oxygen-free conditions, when UO2 is deposited on the cathode. In a subsequent step, UO2 and PuO2 are deposited on a cathode by electrolytic reduction of a fused salt bath while sparging with air and passing air over the bath. Specification 923,951 is referred to.</p> |
