Abstract: Sulphidation method for a UO2 powder, in which said powder is sulfurated by bringing it into contact with a gaseous sulphidation agent. Method for manufacturing nuclear fuel pellets based on uranium oxide, or mixed oxide of uranium and plutonium, from a load of totally or partially sulfurated UO2 powder or UO2 powder and PuO2 powder, by lubrication, pelletizing and sintering, in which: the load of powder subjected to the lubrication, pelletizing and sintering is prepared by the following successive steps: sulphidation of a UO2 powder by the above sulphidation method; optionally mixing, said sulfurated powder in a matrix comprising a UO2 powder, or of a UO2 powder and a PuO2 powder; and, subjecting said load, formed from said sulfurated powder or said mixture, to lubrication, pelletizing and sintering operations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing pellets of a nuclear fuel based on a (U,Pu)O2 or (U,Th)O2 mixed oxide which comprises a) preparing a primary mixture of powders by co-milling a UO2 powder P1 and a PuO2 or ThO2 powder P2, b) sieving this mixture, c) preparing a final mixture of powders by diluting the undersize with a UO2 powder P3, d) pelleting this final mixture, and e) sintering the pellets, and in which at least one compound is incorporated chosen from the group consisting of the oxides of Cr, Al, Ti, Mg, V and Nb, precursors thereof and inorganic compounds capable of providing the element sulphur during step e), is incorporated in at least one of the powders P1, P2 and P3 and/or in at least one of the primary or final mixture of powders.
