Abstract
Beryllium has been widely used in nuclear power engineering. In this case, it refers to rare metals, since its content in the earth's crust is ~ 510−4 %. A small prevalence in nature, a complex technology of extraction from ore and obtaining products determine its high cost [1]. In the process of using beryllium in nuclear power, various radionuclides accumulate in it, which limit its reuse. According to this, the problem of purification of irradiated in a nuclear reactor beryllium from radionuclides is topical. The article discusses the principle of operation and the composition of the equipment of the direct flow irradiated berillium chlorination plant. This technology involves the conversion of beryllium and its radionuclides to chlorides, followed by their separation. The final product is beryllium chloride in liquid form
