Abstract

Systems and methods for forming UCI3 are provided and can include heating a vessel containing liquid bismuth to a first temperature, mixing a uranium metal, a salt containing NaCI and BiCI3 with the liquid bismuth, maintaining the vessel at the first temperature for a time sufficient to produce a molten NaCl-UCl3 salt, heating the vessel to a second temperature so that the molten NaCl-UCl3 solidifies, and removing the solid NaCl-UCl3 from the vessel.
