PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF MONUCARBON-BASED NUCLEAR FUEL, IN PARTICULAR URANIUM MONOCARBON AND URANIUM-PLUTONIUM

摘要

A. THE PROCESS CONSISTS OF REACTING OXIDES OF MATERIAL WHICH CAN CONSTITUTE NUCLEAR FUELS WITH A MATERIAL CONTAINING CARBON AT A TEMPERATURE GREATER THAN 1300C. /P P B. THE MONOCARBON IS OBTAINED BY OPERATING THE REACTION WITH DICARBON WITH DICARBON OF URANIUM. /P P C. THIS PROCESS MAKES IT EASIER TO MANIPULATION AND TO A LARGE EXTENT AVOIDING THE RELEASE OF CARBON OXIDE WHICH AFFECTS THE DENSITY OF THE PELLETS AND MAY CAUSE CRACKS IN THE FUEL FINISHED.
