Abstract

The following infomation is presented on tbe recovery of unirradiated fuel element scrap: solution techniques for U-Zr, U-staialess steel, and U-Al alloy scrap and the recovery of enriched unranium by dibutyl carbitol extraction, with 99.9% over-all efficiency. A summary flowsheet of the over-all enriched uranium scrap dissolving and purification process is shown. Schematics are included of the caustic dissolution process used on U-Al alloy scrap and the dibutyl carbitol process used to remove and purify uranium from various uranium alloy dissolver solutions.
