“…5,6) Among the steps of the different processes, the first step is the head-end treatment involving chemical or mechanical decladding followed by dissolution of fuel in nitric acid, feed clarification, and adjustment of chemical conditions of the solution for solvent extraction. The corrosion behaviors of different materials in nitric acid have been extensively studied: austenitic stainless steel, [7][8][9][10] nickel alloy, 11) aluminum alloy, 12,13) and titanium alloy. 14) The study on the corrosion behavior of oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) ferritic steel in nitiric acid, however, is limited.…”
