Depleted UF₆ Production and Handling Slide Presentation

An online slide presentation about production and handling of depleted UF₆, from mining of uranium ore to storage.

This illustrated online slide presentation summarizes the major steps in depleted UF₆ production and handling processes, including mining of uranium, milling and refining, enrichment, and storage. Diagrams illustrate the fuel cycle, conversion and gaseous diffusion processes, and properties of chemicals. Also included are photos of uranium compounds, depleted UF₆ storage cylinders, and cylinder maintenance activities, equipment, and storage yards.

This presentation is based on the course materials developed by Bob Dyer, a long-time veteran of gaseous diffusion, and depleted UF₆ production and handling.
