Title: Dissolution of plutonium dioxide in nitric acid

Abstract

Two alternative procedures of the electrochemical dissolution of plasmothermal plutonium dioxide in nitric acid were studied: reductive dissolution in the presence of U(IV) stabilized by hydrazine and dissolution in hot nitric acid at the alternating current supply. The current field accelerates dissolution of PuO{sub 2}.
