Uranium Conversion - NRC Web
Uranium Conversion. After the uranium ore concentrate is produced at the mill (where it becomes uranium oxide or "yellow cake"), it is packaged in 55 gallon drums and sent to the uranium conversion plant. At the conversion facility, the yellow cake is processed and is then reacted with fluorine to create uranium hexafluoride (UF 6).Uranium, in the chemical form of UF 6, is suitable for use in ...

design since it gives tremendous flexibility in the design of the mechanical power conversion system and is ‘hydrogen ready’. The intermediate heat exchanger transfers the heat of the helium coolant in the reactor to another helium system to produce either electric power or very high grade heat to hydrogen conversion plants.
Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant - Wikipedia
Design. The former gaseous diffusion plant covers 640 acres (260 ha) of the 3,777-acre (1,528 ha) site. The largest buildings, the process buildings, have a combined length of approximately one and a half miles (2.4 km), and cover about 93 acres (38 ha) and contain 10 million square feet (0.93 km 2) of space.In use, the plant consumed a peak electrical demand of 2,100 megawatts.

Tokaimura Criticality Accident - World Nuclear Association
In 1999 three workers received high doses of radiation in a small Japanese plant preparing fuel for an experimental reactor. The accident was caused by bringing together too much uranium enriched to a relatively high level, causing a criticality (a limited uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction), which continued intermittently for 20 hours. A total of 119 people received a radiation dose over 1 ...

Where Does Uranium Come From? - Nuclear Energy Institute
The uranium oxide is then recovered from the solution as in a conventional mill. A conversion plant removes impurities from yellowcake and chemically converts the material to uranium hexafluoride. This is heated to become a gas and then loaded into cylinders, where it cools and condenses into a solid.
