Uranium ingot casting method with Uranium deposit in a Pyroprocessing
Abstract
The uranium ingot casting process is one of the steps which consolidate uranium deposits produced by electrorefiner as an ingot form in a pryprocessing technique. This paper introduces new design concept of the ingot casting equipment and the performance test results of the lab-scale ingot casting equipment fabricated based on the design concept. Casting equipment produces the uranium ingot by pouring an uranium melt into a mold by tilting a melting crucible. Also it is equipped with a cup which is able to continuously feed uranium deposits into a melting crucible. The productivity could be significantly enhanced by introducing the continuous operation concept.
