Ion-exchange columns, in the foreground and feed tanks, in the background, in the early 60, in one of the stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, in order to purify uranium.


IPEN File

Receipt of purified solutions after the passage by the ionic columns at the beginning of the years 60, in one of the stages of the nuclear fuel cycle.


IPEN File

In the early 60, in one of the stages of the nuclear fuel cycle, the burning of sodium Diuranato. The operator is properly protected from ingestion of material uranífero and the location is isolated from the rest of the plant.
