Abstract
Abstract A MIXED URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM SOLUTION WHEREIN THE NIRATE CONCENTRATION IS SLIGHTLY GREATER THAN, EQUAL TO OR LESS THAN THAT REQUIRED FOR U (VI) AND PU (IV) VALENCIES IS PREPARED BY MIXING A PLUTONIUM (IV) NITRATE SOLUTION CONTAINING NITRIC ACID WITH A DIURANATE, URANIUM TRIOXIDE OR A SOLUTION OF URANIUM TRIOXIDE IN URANYL NITRATE. IT IS THUS POSSIBLE TO PREPARE MIXED SOLUTIONS WHERE THE MOLE RATIO OF PLUTONIUM TO UREANIUM AND THE MOLE RATIO OF NITRATE TO TOTAL METAL CAN BE VARIED ACCORDING TO THE NITRATE CONCENTRATION DESIRABLE FOR SUBSEQUENT OPERATIONS.
