I don't know the details but it may be thorium, not uranium, that is the

"contaminant"

Nickel disposal meeting called

U.S. Department of Energy officials wants to recycle 6 1/2 tons of slightly

radioactive metal but wants suggestions how to do it.



---------------------------



Can anybody enlighten me, of what kind the radioactive contamination is? The

only contamination I can think of would be uranium isotopes. It should not

be too difficult to recycle it and to separate the uranium from the nickel.

As a chemist I know, that nickel and uranium behave chemically quite

differently.

Franz
