Abstract
Pretreatment methods are described for aiding the separation and recovery or uranium alloy from mixtures of uranium alloy with metal oxides and metal fluorides. Hydrogen fluoride converts oxides to fluorides, and magnesium converts uranium fluoride to uranium alloy. Following pretreatments, the uranium alloys are separated by melting in a molten-salt bath, or the uranium alloy may be melted as part of the pretreatment process.
