Abstract

Uranium is the basis of the nuclear power industry as well as military weapons programs. The unique position of uranium in these activities, the increasing ore grades that have been discovered, and increasing environmental concerns have very much influenced recent process developments. This article presents a review of the current status of uranium processing.
