Which one of the following is used to remove most of plutonium from spent nuclear fuel?
- A \(\mathrm{ClF}_{3}\)
- B \(\mathrm{O}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}\)
- C \(\mathrm{I}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}\)
- D \(\mathrm{BrO}_{3}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{O}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{O}_{2} \mathrm{~F}_{2}\) oxidises plutonium to \(\mathrm{PuF}_{6}\) and the reaction is used in removing plutonium as \(\mathrm{PuF}_{6}\) from spent nuclear fuel.
