;

A tubular fuel element (enriched uranium) is provided with a sheath of a protective substance (beryllium) by compacting layers of the substance over and around the fuel tube. A removable core of lead, tin, bismuth or other low melting point metal to deform under compaction and transmit isotropic pressure is used to define the interior diameter of the element during compacting and subsequent sintering of the powdered sheath in a demountable die of ""Nimonic'' nickel--chromium alloy. or nickel titanium carbide.
