ABSTRACT:
A method of dissolving nuclear material from a relatively long length cut from a nuclear fuel cartridge and having a liquid permeable passageway extending from one end to the other end of the cut length. The method comprises holding the cut length upright in a dissolvent for the nuclear material in the cut length, so that gas generated by the dissolvent in reacting with the nuclear material produces an effect analogous to that of an air lift pump and circulates the dissolvent through the passageway.
