Uranium Recovery Plant

Other Name: N/A
Location: Institute for Technology of Mineral Raw Materials
Subordinate To: Directorate for Nuclear Raw Materials
Size: Pilot scale
Facility Status: N/A

In 1981, this plant was involved with experiments to recover uranium from phosphoric acid produced at the Zorka Chemical Industry plant in Sabac. Successes are hard to discern but, by the late 1980s, activity at this plant had declined. Its status is unknown but assumed to be halted. We need to explain why and who thinks that the facility is halted.
