[특허 요약] The present invention relates to a method, for treating uranium carbide (UCx) scraps, comprising: a step (a) of inputting uranium carbide scraps, which are produced during a process of preparing uranium carbide (UCx-C) from uranium oxide, in a dedicated crucible and inputting same to a heat treatment furnace; a heat-treating step (b) of sublimating carbon in the uranium carbide scraps by temporally raising the temperature in accordance with a heat treatment condition of the heat treatment furnace; and a step (c) of recovering uranium oxide which is produced by removing the carbon from the uranium carbide scraps by performing the step (b). Therefore, the uranium carbide scraps are treated such that the recovered uranium oxide can be reused.
