The bismuth-phosphate process was used to extract plutonium from irradiated uranium taken from nuclear reactors. It was developed during World War II...

uranium from the wastes left over from the bismuth phosphate process, but with a different solvent, tributyl phosphate. Due to the plant's layout, it could...

processed in two huge, remotely operated chemical separation plants (T and B) where the plutonium was extracted using the bismuth-phosphate process....
