SIMPLIFIED PRODUCTION OF FUEL ELEMENTS BY POURING POWDERED FUEL MATERIAL IN CANS (in German)

The method described for the production of canned fuel elements consists of the insertion of a one-sided empty case into a recess of a compression- resistant press mold adapted to the geometry of the case. The fuel material in powder form was molded by layers under continuous cold pressing, hot pressing, or sintering with a piston. Powdered metallic or non-metallic fuel materials or a mixture of both could therefore be used. The production of fuel elements should be simplified by the utilization of this method. (J.S.R.)
