OSTI ID:1840259
The invention relates generally to uranium fuel in a nuclear reactor and, more particularly, the inclusion of a fuel additive component to the bulk fuel material. The fuel additive component is selected and provided in an amount such that it is effective to improve one or more properties of the bulk fuel material. The fuel additive component has a grain size that is less than the grain size of the bulk fuel material. The granular fuel additive component coats or covers the granular bulk fuel material.
