Description

Small quantities of neptunium-237 have been processed at the Rocky Flats Plant since 1962. This processing has involved preparation of pure neptunium oxide, metal, and metal alloys, and the recovery of neptunium-237 from a variety of residues. This report describes the processes used at Rocky Flats to recover and purify neptunium in addition to processes used for conversion to metal for casting and for rolling
