Preparation of Refractories from Uranium Dioxide for Melting Uranium
Description:
Attention is now being drawn to the refractory properties of the pure dioxide of uranium, which make it suitable for special applications, such as the melting of pure uranium. Properties of uranium dioxide are described as they relate to fabrication. Forming of UO{sub 2} refractories by pressing and slip casting is discussed, as well as the firing of urania refractories and the properties of fired ware. Health hazards pertaining to UO{sub 2} are briefly described.
