THE CANNING OF UO3 POWDER FOE SAMPLING

摘要

A method, based on powder-metallurgical procedures, was developed for canning uranium oxide powder in standard Hanford aluminum cans. A density of 5 gm/cc or higher was achieved by this method, with powder density variations of about 1％ within the can. The oxide contaminated with cadmium compounds was canned by the same procedure with satisfactory results. Recommendations for production procedures are included.
