Evaluation of the Possibility of Fabricating Uranium-Molybdenum Fuel for VVER by Powder Metallurgy Methods

It is shown that the technological scheme for fabricating uranium dioxide pellets is suitable for fabricating uranium-molybdenum pellets. It permits using the standard powder metallurgy methods to fabricate pellets from uranium-molybdenum powder obtained by thermocentrifugal atomization of ingots of...

More Information
Summary:It is shown that the technological scheme for fabricating uranium dioxide pellets is suitable for fabricating uranium-molybdenum pellets. It permits using the standard powder metallurgy methods to fabricate pellets from uranium-molybdenum powder obtained by thermocentrifugal atomization of ingots of uranium-molybdenum alloy. The proposed technology uses standard equipment operating in easily reproducible regimes.
