Next slide, please.

We found thet the contaminated

aluminum showed the highest-amount of cone
tamination of any of the nenples that we

analyzed, 4980 micrograms of U per gram,

The remelt showed considerable

surface contamination as evidenced by both

the drillings and also by the Juno meacurements,
The slag contained anproximately

half the contemination shown in the original

slag and thia is probably due to the fact of

aluzinun’s affinity for oxygen, having an

affinity greater than any other metal ore
including ureniun,
And therefore the uranium was not allowed to oxidize and could not

come off in the slag.
