ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method for recovering metal beryllium from waste beryllium that has become radioactive in the reaction with neutrons, by converting the radioactive beryllium to halogenated beryllium with a halogen gas such as chlorine, bromine or iodine, and subsequently submitting the halogenated beryllium to thermal decomposition. In this way, the invention allows effective recovery of metal beryllium from waste, radioactive beryllium, thereby reducing production of radioactive wastes and ensuring an economical use of natural resources.
