METAL SHEATHED BODIES
Abstract
An aluminum-cased uranium fuel element is patented for use in nuclear reactors. A layer of a substance such as graphite or a metallic film, preferably of relatively low thermal-neutron capture cross section, between the uranium and aluminum prevents their interdiffusion.
