The Preparation of a Set of BeO-Based Fuel Element Specimens for the H.T.G.C. Irradiation Programme
Description:
Ceramic fuel element specimens consisting of a uranium oxide-thorium oxide solid solution dispersed in beryllium oxide were fabricated by hot pressing in graphite dies. Details of fabrication techniques are given. Tests for overall composition, homogeneity and size and shape of fuel grains made during and at the completion of the work indicate that the specimens are in general agreement with initial specifications.
