Chemical research at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, Harwell

Abstract

I should like ot say something about chemical researches at the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, but, as often happens, this simple desire leads to complicatios: there are so many researches, often not very closely related, bearing on a wide variety of technical programmes, that to mention them all would oblige me to recite a mere catalogue of items. Table 1. Atomic energy technology. Main chemical subdivisions (1) raw materials (2) production of fuel elements and special reactor materials (3) reactor chemistry (4) chemical processing of irradiated materials (5) disposal and utilization of radioactive wastes
