Abstract

Alloys of Th with U233 or U235 are prepared by mixing Th powder with UF4 and heating the mixture in a graphite crucible under inert gas or vacuum to initiate the reaction, followed by further heating to at least 1600 DEG C. The alloy and slag form two distinct layers which are readily separated on cooling. The reactant mixture may be initially pelleted.
