We have derived a statistical model for the dissolution of uranium dioxide tablets for the 6 to 12 M concentration range and temperatures from 80/sup 0/C to the boiling point. The model differs qualitatively from the dissolution model for ground uranium dioxide. In the indicated range of experimental conditions, the mean-square deviation of the curves for the model from the experimental curves is not greater than 6%.
