ABSTRACT:
In a process for the conversion of uranium hexafluoride to an uranium oxide by injecting uranium hexafluoride and dry steam into a first region of a vessel so as to form a plume of particles of uranyl fluoride and reacting the uranyl fluoride in a second region of the vessel with a countercurrent flow of steam and/or hydrogen the operation of the process is such that a major proportion of the uranyl fluoride is caused to circulate within the first region so that the original uranyl fluoride particles are able to grow and agglomerate in a dendritic manner.
