URANIUM DIOXIDE-PLUTONIUM DIOXIDE CERAMICS
The results of experiments performed with UC/sub 2/--PuC/sub 2/ fuels are reported. The coprecipitation of ammonium diuranate and plutonium hydroxide and their reduction to the oxides has been successful in preparing a solid solution of UC/sub 2/ --PuC/sub 2/. A free flowing powder mixture of MgO--PuO/ sub 2/ was prepared by precipitation of the oxalates in a neutral to ammonical solution and by subsequent decomposition to the oxides at 700 deg L. A free flowing uniform powder mixture of MgO--UC/sub 2/, substituting for PuC/sub 2/, was prepared with a twin shell dry blinder. (W.L.H.)
