Abstract
This invention pertains to a method for removing deposits of uranium compounds in uranium hexafluoride handling equipment. A fluorocarbon containing bromine is internally injected into the handling equipment at or below ambient pressure and this brominating agent removes uranium compounds which have been formed therein. A fluoridating agent is also preferably used in conjunction with the fluorocarbon containing bromine.
