<p>A process for the dissolution of a fuel rod comprises maintaining a flow of fuel rod dissolving liquid along an upward flow path in which the rate of flow decreases upwardly along the path. The fuel rods, divided into substantially equal length parts are introduced to the lower end of the flow path as a result of which the fuel rod parts move upwardly along the flow path as the spent fuel is dissolved. When the fuel parts reach the upper end of the flow path they are separated from the liquid. Apparatus for carrying out the process is also disclosed.</p> |
