  • Method for Preparing Sintered Annular Nuclear Fuel Pellet
    Publication number: 20110049734
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a sintered annular nuclear fuel pellet includes molding nuclear fuel powder or granule, an oxide of a fissile element (M), to fabricate an annular nuclear fuel green body. A rod-like shaped structure is inserted into the annular nuclear fuel green body and sintered in a slight oxidizing gas atmosphere such that the oxide of the fissile element has a balanced O/M ratio higher than a desired O/M ratio (oxygen/fissile element) of a final sintered annular nuclear fuel pellet, while being maintained in a cubic phase. The sintered annular nuclear fuel pellet is then reduced in a reductive gas atmosphere so as to have the desired O/M ratio in the state that the rod-like shaped structure is inserted.
