PROCESSING OF POWER REACTOR FUELS SIXTEENTH QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT, JULY 1 TO OCTOBER 1, 1961
In the semiworks dissolver, average currents were about 2000 amp during dissolution of stainless steel and about 1200 amp during dissolution of Zircaloy. These currents were obtained when the current was transferred to a fuel assembly by direct contact with the columbium basket. High dissolution rates are anticipated when the dissolver is modified so that the electrolyte makes the only electrical contact with the charge. Laboratory experiments were made to determine the important characteristics of this type of dissolver. High corrosion rates of stainless steel equipment by boiling nitric acid-stainless steel solutions (under evaporator conditions) is caused by Cr/sup +6/ (auth)
