Title: Phenomenological model of sintering of oxide nuclear fuel with doping admixtures

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei

It is shown that a change in the linear dimension of compacted UO{sub 2} in the sintering process is associated with its plastic yielding under the action of the forces of residual stress and capillary forces. From the curves of sintering of a fuel with doping admixtures in various gaseous media, its rate of creep is reduced.
