Electrolytic dissolution experience at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6529930
Following considerable development work at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP) and other fuel processing sites, a production scale Electrolytic Dissolution process was installed in 1970. Since that time several processing campaigns have been completed using stainless steel-clad EBR-II fuel as feed. Approximately 4350 kgs of total uranium have been charged to the Electrolytic Dissolution System to date. The capability to electrolytically dissolve aluminum-clad fuels in the future is presently being developed.
