| Abstract: |
The main results of a study of regimes for dissolution of plutonium oxide and mononitride powders, obtained by the pyrochemical method from weapons plutonium, in acids for subsequent extraction removal of gallium, americium, and ballast impurities and obtaining ceramic-type plutonium oxide powder suitable for fabricating mixing oxide fuel are presented. It is established experimentally that plutonium oxide and mononitride obtained by the pyrochemical method dissolve rapidly in the acid mixture HNO 12 moles/liter and HF 0.1 moles/liter. Plutonium extraction into solution reaches >99%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
