A study was conducted to compare the estimated dissolution rate of Zircaloy-2 clad annular fuel elements on the fully expesed metal with that in the annuli. Results indicate that decladding of these elements should proceed uniformly on all surfaces. Heat balance data from the study are also reported. (J.R.D.
