LIQUID METAL DECANNING OF HIGHLY IRRADIATED UO$sub 2$--PuO$sub 2$/STAINLESS STEEL CLAD FUELS.
A decanning process for fast breeder fuels of the UO{sub 2} - PuO{sub 2}/stainless steel type was investigated. The method is based on a selective dissolution of the stainless steel cladding material in a liquid metal solvent composed of Sb-Cu at temperatures betwen 800 and 950 deg C. The stainlesss steel dissolution rates, which vary between 40 and 60 wt%, are strongly temperature dependent. The crucible is graphite. The fuel UO{sub 2} - PuO{sub 2} is separated from the liquid solvent by filtration. Microprobe examinations showed that after solidification the structure of the solvent alloy including stainless steel is rathermore »
