Method and combustion reactor for converting uranium hexafluoride gas to an oxide of uranium
A uranium oxide product is formed in a gaseous reaction medium from uranium hexafluoride by interaction with a fuel gas such as hydrogen and oxygen. Oxide content and particle properties of the uranium oxide product are governed by the improved method and the apparatus for carrying out the method. A...

Summary: | A uranium oxide product is formed in a gaseous reaction medium from uranium hexafluoride by interaction with a fuel gas such as hydrogen and oxygen. Oxide content and particle properties of the uranium oxide product are governed by the improved method and the apparatus for carrying out the method. An improvement is provided by applying a quenching gas to quench the conversion reaction of uranium hexafluoride to uranium oxide, and a combustion reactor apparatus which enables the application of the quenching gas is also provided. |
