METHOD OF PREPARING A FUEL ELEMENT FOR A NUCLEAR REACTOR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4178014
;
A method is described for preparing a reactor fuel element by forming a mixture of thorium dioxide and an oxide of uranium, the uranium being present. In an oxidation state at least as high as it is in U/sub 3/O/sub 8/, into a desired shape and firing in air at a temperature siifficiently high to reduce the higher uranium oxide to uranium dioxide.
