  • A METHOD FOR THE DIGESTION OF A URANIUM BASED MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20230060822
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for at least partially digesting a uranium (U)-based target material which comprises at least one uranium-metal (U-Me) alloy containing Mn, Fe, Co or Ni and comprising at least a U6Me phase. By means of an accelerant in a basic solution, the uranium in U-Me alloy oxidizes to U(VI). The accelerant comprises in particular KMnO4 whilst the U-Me alloy comprises a U—Mn alloy. The alloy preferably comprises two phases of an eutectic system, in particular the U6Mn/UMn2 system. The use of the accelerant enables an enhanced digestion of the U-Me alloy.
