“…During plutonium recycling, this americium is separated and either purified or discarded to waste. Several laboratories 43 ' 45 are separating and purifying 241 Am from this source in multigram to kilogram quantities annually. The aqueous methods vary somewhat from laboratory to laboratory, depending on previous experience, the availability of equipment, and the composition of the americium source.…”

This review stresses techniques used in studies of molten salts containing multigram amounts of actinides exhibiting intense alpha activity but little or no penetrating gamma radiation. The preponderance of studies have used halides because oxygencontaining actinide compounds (other than oxides) are generally unstable at high temperatures. Topics discussed here include special enclosures, materials problems, preparation and purification of acticide elements and compounds, and measurements of various properties of the molten volts. Property measurements discussed are phase relationships, vapor pressure, density, viscosity, absorption spectra, electromotive force, and conductance.
