Uranium electrical resistivity

The control of electrical resistivity in these ceramics is, as noted above, very desirable. There has been considerable success in the use of uranium as a dopant for this function in a variety of compositions [36-38], Recently, chromium has also been shown to exhibit some promise for this [39],... 

Many challenging industrial and military applications utilize polychlorotriduoroethylene [9002-83-9] (PCTFE) where, ia addition to thermal and chemical resistance, other unique properties are requited ia a thermoplastic polymer. Such has been the destiny of the polymer siace PCTFE was initially synthesized and disclosed ia 1937 (1). The synthesis and characterization of this high molecular weight thermoplastic were researched and utilized duting the Manhattan Project (2). The unique comhination of chemical iaertness, radiation resistance, low vapor permeabiUty, electrical iasulation properties, and thermal stabiUty of this polymer filled an urgent need for a thermoplastic material for use ia the gaseous UF diffusion process for the separation of uranium isotopes (see Diffusion separation methods). 

Fused salts Molybdenum has excellent resistance to a wide range of fused salts and has been used in the fused salt electrolysis of magnesium, platinum, thorium and uranium. In the production of pure magnesium, molybdenum is used to couple graphite electrodes electrically. Molybdenum cathodes are...
