The invention relates to the technical field of radioactive graphite treatment, in particular to a treatment method for treating radioactive graphite. The treatment method comprises the following steps: step 1, crushing a decommissioned nuclear graphite block into powder to obtain nuclear graphite powder; step 2, weighing a certain amount of chlorine source, and mixing the chlorine source with the nuclear graphite powder; and step 3, heating the powder mixed in the step 2 under the mixed atmosphere of inert gas and oxygen for heat treatment. The decommissioned nuclear graphite and a certain amount of chlorine source are mixed and then are heated in an oxygen-containing atmosphere, <14>C is combined with oxygen to form CO and CO2 gases, a large amount of inert graphite matrixes are reserved, <3>H reacts with chlorine elements and the like under the action of high temperature to generate HCl, the radioactive metal in the nuclear graphite can react with the chlorine element to generate a metal chloride with a lower boiling point, and the metal chloride is volatilized at a certain temperature, so that the metal chloride is separated from the nuclear graphite, generated CO2, HCl and gaseous chloride are treated after heat treatment, concentration and enrichment of nuclides are completed, and the decontamination effect of various nuclides of the nuclear graphite is achieved.
