·
OSTI ID:5862731
This patent describes a process for separating ceramic nuclear fuels out of metallic tubular support members or tubular support member parts within which the nuclear fuels adhere comprising: immersing in a tank containing liquid the tubular support member or tubular support member parts with the nuclear fuel adhered thereto; inserting a liquid jet nozzle into the internal space of the tubular support member or tubular support member parts; directing a high pressure liquid jet against the ceramic fuels for effecting then fragmentation; and washing off the nuclear fuel while in the immersed condition with the high-pressure liquid jet.
