So that fuel cans can be made of metals which form compounds or alloys with the fuel element at temperatures below 800 deg C, it is proposed to coat the eIement with a thin layer of niobium. This gives adequate heat transfer and avoids metallic interaction. The layer is formed either on the element itself or on the can by electrodeposition, decomposition of a niobium compound vapor, by metal spraying, etc. Alternatively niobium foil can be wrapped round the element. Suituble layer thickness is 1 to 2 mils. After assembly and sealing, the can is subjected to pressure as usual to ensure can/niobium and niobium/element contact.
