FIELD: metallurgy.
SUBSTANCE: method for removing deposit of MOX-fuel from an electrolysis unit cathode involves removal of the cathode with deposit of MOX-fuel from molten metal in the electrolysis unit and supply of cooling agent. After the cathode with deposit is removed from molten metal, it is exposed above molten metal till its complete efflux from the deposit. Then, the cathode with deposit of MOX-fuel is placed into a container into which cooling agent is supplied in the form of jets of liquid nitrogen or its vapours, which are directed to the deposit surface, to surface of deposit of MOX-fuel till cracks appear on the deposit; after that, the deposit is destructed mechanically and unloaded from the container.
EFFECT: improvement of the method.
