Abstract (en)
[origin: JPH01138495A] PURPOSE: To operate and use retreated uranium under normal conditions and to store it again by passing it through a chemically inactive porous substance in liquid-shaped or gas-shaped hexasulfide form. CONSTITUTION: Reprocessed uranium is passed through a chemically inactive porous substance in liquid-shaped or gas-shaped hexasulfide form, where the porous substance should be formed, for example, by nets that are piled up each other and be stainless, nickel, and their alloy. Also, the diameter of the porous substance should be less than 100μm, preferably 50μm. Further, the passage speed of the liquid-shaped or gas-shaped hexasulfide should be 15-100m/ hour and the contact time with the porous substance should be 0.1-10sec.
