Abstract
The performance of a full-scale continuous dissolver with suitable dimensions for power reactor enriched fuel dissolution was investigated. Results on a fullscale continuous trickle-type column dissolver for enriched uranium-- aluminum fuels are presented. Both cast and extruded unirradiated alloys were dissolved, and correlations relating dissolving rate and product concentration to feed acid rate and concentration for both types of alloy are given. The application of the correlations to column design and operation is discussed. (auth)
