Description

A program of plutonium 238 production by irradiation of neptunium 237 is in operation at the CEA since 1965. The neptunium 237 targets (in the form of metal or oxide), prepared for irradiation in experimental or industrial reactors, and the various chemical processes applied to these targets are described
