Test dissolution of Hanford scrap oxide, HRA-40
Two portions from a single sample of Hanford scrap plutonium oxide (12% Pu{sup 240}), account HRA-40, were dissolved in the Separations Technology Laboratory as requested. Test conditions, including oxide-to-solvent ratio were very similar to those used in the process. Both test portions dissolved quite readily in 14M HNO{sub 3}-0.2 M HF in a boiling water bath. Efficient agitation of the oxide in the solvent was instrumental in ensuring quick, thorough dissolution.
