Progress on sol-gel sphere-pac development
Conference

OSTI ID:6809915
The ORNL sol-gel program is reviewed briefly. Advantages of the sol-gel sphere-pac are listed. Three sizes of microspheres are being used; the two largest sized fractions are blended and then loaded into the fuel rod, followed by packing of the smallest microspheres into void spaces using a low-energy vibrator. Sol-gel sphere-pac also appears attractive for breeder reactor fuel fabrication. (DLC)
