This SBIR Phase I project will develop a program to utilize uranium tetrafluoride (DUF4), a processed byproduct from the creation of nuclear energy, to create SF4, SF6, and NF3. SF4 and SF6 would be created by mixing DUF4 with sulfur oxides and halides (and oxygen for SF6) at varying temperatures, pressures, and stoichiometries. In addition, the generated SF4 would be mixed at varying temperatures, pressures, and stoichiometries with NOF to try to create NF3. A two-step process to create NF3 with SF4, NH3, and fluorine will also be performed.The broader/commercial impact of the project will be the expansion of a market for nuclear waste by-products that is currently insufficient to utilize the existing supply of nuclear waste. By expanding the market, the potential to expand the nuclear power industry might be more palatable.

SBIR第一阶段项目将开发一个利用四氟化铀（DUF 4）的计划，DUF 4是核能产生的加工副产品，用于生产SF 4，SF6和NF 3。 SF 4和SF6可以通过在不同的温度、压力和化学计量下将DUF 4与硫的氧化物和卤化物（以及SF6的氧气）混合而产生。 此外，产生的SF 4将在不同的温度、压力和化学计量下与NOF混合，以试图产生NF 3。 该项目的更广泛/商业影响将是扩大目前不足以利用现有核废料供应的核废料副产品市场。 通过扩大市场，扩大核电行业的潜力可能更容易接受。
