Abstract
We examined the corrosion resistance of structural materials in boiling solutions of nitric, sulfuric, and hydrofluoric acid, and also nitric acid with additions of fluorides with application to the technological process of dissolution of fuel elements. The obtained data on the nature of the corrosive action of fuel element solvents on structural materials can be used to decide on materials and methods for protecting reactor dissolvers against corrosion.
