Going Nuclear: Notes from the officially unofficial book tour
I work in the analytical labs at one of Europe’s oldest and largest nuclear sites: Sellafield, in northwestern England. I spend my days at the fume hood front, pipette in one hand and radiation probe in the other (and dosimeter pinned to my chest, of course). Outside the lab, I have a second job: I moonlight as a writer and public speaker. My new popular science book—Going Nuclear: How the Atom Will Save the World—came out last summer, and it feels like my life has been running at full power ever since.

An investigation has been made of the selective solvent extraction of beryllium from sulfate liquors by means of esters of orthophosphoric acid. The sulfate liquors were obtained from the treatment of beryl flotation concentrates. The preferred extractant is di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid dissolved in kerosene. Tests with this solvent have provided design data for the forward- extraction and solvent-stripping processes. Tests with actual leach liquors showed that high-grade products were obtained by the procedures described.
