Preserving high-purity ²³³U

Abstract

The MARC X Conference hosted a workshop for the scientific community to communicate needs for high-purity ²³³U and its by-products in order to preserve critical items otherwise slated for downblending and disposal. Currently, only small portions of the U.S. holdings of separated ²³³U are being preserved. However, many additional kilograms of ²³³U (>97 % pure) still are destined to be disposed, and it is unlikely that this material will ever be replaced due to a lack of operating production capability. Summaries of information conveyed at the workshop and feedback obtained from the scientific community are presented herein.
