SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EFFICIENTLY PREPARING PLUTONIUM-238 WITH HIGH ISOTOPIC PURITY |
摘要 |
A method for preparing plutonium-238 (Pu-238) using reactor may include irradiating a liquid containing a neptunium-237 (Np-237) based compounds with neutrons to convert a portion of the Np-237 based compound to a Np-238 based compound; retaining the liquid containing the resulting mixture for a sufficient amount of time for the Np-238 based compound to at least partially convert to a plutonium-238 (Pu-238) based compound. The method further may include separating the Pu-238 based compound from the neptunium based compounds using distillation or chemical method. |
