Abstract
A method for reprocessing metal parts that are radioactively contaminated with uranium includes smelting the metal parts so that a melt and a slag are formed. U.sub.235 -depleted uranium is admixed with the metal parts and/or the melt and/or the slag. It is contemplated for the U.sub.235 -depleted uranium to be admixed in the form of uranium glass.
