Production of uranium tetrafluoride from the effluent generated in the reconversion via ammonium uranyl carbonate

Uranium tetrafluoride (UF4) is the most used nuclear material for producing metallic uranium by reduction with Ca or Mg. Metallic uranium is a raw material for the manufacture of uranium silicide, U3Si2, which is the most suitable uranium compound for use as nuclear fuel for research reactors. By co...
