dc.description.abstractResults of nitric acid leaching and anodic disintegration processing studies of two types of homogeneous graphite moderated fuels ore reported. ZN nitric acid leaching at 90-100°C appears suitable as the primary processing method, whereby uranium and thorium are obtained in solution suitable for solvent extraction. Anodic disintegration in 2N nitric acid is a satisfactory wet method of breaking down the graphite fuel assemblies, but the disintegration process does not give the required uranium and thorium recoveries. lt has not been possible to assign any electrochemical action to the anodic solution of uranium and thorium carbides.en_AU
