EFFECTS OF FUEL BURN-UP ON THE DISSOLUTION PROCESS-I [PDF]

, 1959
Data on the effects of nuclear fuel burnup on dissolution rates and U losses of a few fuel types are summarized. Burnup to the 40% level produced very little effect on the rate of solution of stainless steel-UO/sub 2/ fuel elements in solutions of the Darex type.
