  • Method of producing a layer on a porous substrate
    Patent number: 6066364
    Abstract: In a method of producing a layer on a porous substrate, a suspension including coarse solids of such a size that they clog the pores of the substrate and fine solids which are not larger than 1/5 of the coarse solids is poured onto the porous substrate and the substrate with the layer of solids disposed thereon is then dried and sintered.

  • Method of making fissionable-fuel and fertile breeder materials for nuclear reactors
    Patent number: 4006096
    Abstract: Fissionable fuels and/or fertile breeder materials for nuclear reactors crised of fissionable or potentially fissionable materials having evenly distributed throughout certain metal oxides, such as aluminum oxide and niobium oxide, exhibiting the capacity to retain products formed by nuclear fission as stable, nonvolatible compounds in the nuclear material. The fuel element is combined with an effective amount of oxide that is relatively nonvolatile, has a low neutron-capture cross-section and forms such stable, nonvolatile compounds with the solid products resulting from nuclear fission.
