The integral fabrication of uranium dioxide fuel elements by rotary swaging

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4233047

The feasibility of fabricating UO/sub 2/ fuel elements having densities of 90% theoretical by rotary swaging inside a Zircaloy or stainless steel sheath has been demonstrated. The results show that the density achieved in this process is a function both of the type of UO/sub 2/ used and the mechanical properties of the sheathing material. (auth)
