ABSTRACT:
A method for producing uranium oxide includes combining uranium tetrafluoride, silicon and a gaseous anhydrous oxidizing agent having a lower thermodynamic stability than any oxide of uranium produced; heating the combination below the vapor point of the uranium tetrafluoride to sufficiently react the uranium tetrafluoride, silicon and the oxidizing agent to produce uranium oxide and a non-radioactive fluorine compound; and removing the fluorine compound.
