;
A method is given for coating fissionable fuel with niobium films preparatory to cladding with an aluminum can to prevent reaction between fuel and can such films are at least 50% niobium and 0.1 to 0.2 mu thick and may be pre pared by evaporation onto the fuel elements in a chamber in which a niobium piece is attached to a tantalum heater.
