OSTI ID:4841198
A novel method of preparing reactor fuel elements is described which results in a porous uranium alloy skeleton impregnated with a light metal or alloy. The method consists of forming the uranium alloy skeleton by powder metallurgy methods and impregnating the skeleton with molten light metal or alloy. The uranium should be alloyed with one of the transition metals of the 4th,; 5th, and 6th groups of the pericdic table, and the light metal or alloy should have a melting point at least approximately 100 deg C less than that of the uranium alloy. Examples of the method using molten aluminum alloys are described. (D.L.C.)
