Production of nuclear fuel particles coated with silicon carbide
Patent

OSTI ID:4428812
In the production of nuclear fuel particles, carbon-coated nuclear fuel kernels are coated with silicon carbide. Deposition of the silicon carbide at a low rate increases the strength of the silicon carbide coating. It is necessary only for the outer layers to be deposited at the low rate. The temperature of deposition, the nature of the substrate, and the composition of fluidizing gas may be relevant factors. (Official Gazette)
