Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A method of purification for UF 4 utilizing NH 4 HF 2 was investigated to remove oxygen and hydrate impurities from the salt. The original salt exhibited a melting point at 915-920 °C, which corresponds to the eutectic temperature of the UF 4 -UO 2 system, showing clear signs of oxygen contamination. To purify the salt, an air-tight reaction vessel inside an argon glovebox was used to react UF 4 /NH 4 HF 2 mixtures at elevated temperatures under a continuous flow of inert gas. The process yielded a significantly purer UF 4 salt as confirmed via inert gas fusion, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
