ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an ammonium plutonate uranate, its preparation process and its use for producing the mixed oxide (U,Pu)O.sub.2.
The ammonium plutonate uranate of formula [Cu,Pu)O.sub.3 ].sub.2 [NH.sub.3 ].sub.x [H.sub.2 O].sub.y in which x and y have a value from 0 to 5 with x+y=5, is prepared by neutralization with ammonia of an aqueous solution of uranium VI and plutonium VI salts, e.g. uranyl and plutonyl nitrates. This solution can be prepared by oxidizing a solution of plutonium IV and uranyl nitrate. By calcining under a reducing atmosphere the ammonium plutonate uranate precipitate formed, a mixed oxide (U,Pu)O.sub.2 is obtained having a solubility in 11N HN O.sub.3 without fluoride of at least 99.9%.
