ORNL FUEL CYCLE PROGRESS REPORT FOR PERIOD MAY 15, 1960-JULY 15, 1960

OSTI ID:4070875
Oxide samples prepared by the sol-gel technique were vibratory compacted to 87% of theoretical density for pure ThO/sub 2/ and 83% for mixed thorium- uranium oxides. These oxides were prepared from a sol by slow drying and 1200 deg C calcination. The density of oxide vibratory compacted into a seven-tube bundle, 86% of theoretical, was no different from that obtained in single tubes. The material of construction of the fuel tube (stainless steel, Zircaloy, or aluminum) had little effect on the density that was obtained by vibratory compaction. Samples of UO/sub 2./ /sub 000/ have been prepared by precipitation from a fused fluoride melt. This material is being used to determine physical constants for UO/sub 2/. (auth)
