REPROCESSING OF POWER REACTOR FUELS. First Quarterly Progress Report to January 1, 1958

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4339110
;

This is the first quarterly progress report on investigations of chemical processing methods for zirconium-uranium fuel systems. Progress on removing zirconium jackets with hydrofluoric acid and ammonium fluoride; recoveny of fissionable material from decladding solutions; dissolving uranium -- molybdenum alloy in nitric acid and mixtures of nitric and hydrofluoric acid; stability of dissolver solutions; codissolving zirconium and uranium--molybdenum alloy with mixtures of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid; and methods for separating zirconium and uranium before solvent extraction are summarized.
