The development of nuclear fssion chain reactors for the conversion of mass to energy and the transmutation of elements has brought into industrial prominence chemical substances and chemical engineering processes that a few years ago were no more than scientific curiosities. Uranium, formerly used mainly for coloring glass and ceramics, has become one of the world’s most important sources of energy. Thorium, once used mainly in the Welsbach gas mantle, promises to become a nuclear fuel second in importance only to uranium. Zirconium and its chemical twin hafnium, formerly always produced together, have been separated and have emerged as structural materials of unique value in reactors. New chemical engineering processes have been devised to separate these elements, and even more novel processes have been developed for producing deuterium, U, and the other separated isotopes that have become the fine chemicals of the nuclear age. The processing of radioactive materials, formerly limited mainly to a few curies of radium, is now concerned with the millions of curies of radioactive isotopes of the many chemical elements that are present in spent fuel discharged from nuclear reactors.
