From page 9...
... (This uranium is not actually lost but falls into the cadmium cathode, from which it may be recovered by subsequent anodization into the molten process salt and then deposited onto the cathode mandrel.) Crucibles Material for the cathode processor crucible is still being evaluated to minimize the uranium loss (more than the design specification of 1 percent)
