FABRICATION OF UO$sub 2$ FUEL ELEMENTS BY VIBRATIONAL COMPACTION
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4783039
S>Arc-fused UO/sub 2/ was vibrationally compacted to as high as 93.4% of theoretical density inside a stainless steel sheath tube. Selected particle sizes were used, and the assembly was vibrated axially in the frequency range of 300 to 1500 cps. The same blend of UO/sub 2/ particle sizes was vibrationally compacted to 87.5% of theoretical density within the annulus between two concentric stainless steel sheath tubes. The effects of particle size distribution, vibrational compaction procedure, sheath thickness, and fuel element shape on the maximum obtainable density were investigated. (auth)
