Abstract

A.LE PROCEDE CONSISTE A FAIRE REAGIR DES OXYDES DE MATIERE POUVANT CONSTITUER DES COMBUSTIBLES NUCLEAIRES AVEC UNE MATIERE CONTENANT DU CARBONE A UNE TEMPERATURE SUPERIEURE A 1300C. B.ON OBTIENT LE MONOCARBURE EN OPERANT LA REACTION AVEC DU DICARBURE D'URANIUM. C.CE PROCEDE PERMET DE FACILITER BEAUCOUP LES MANIPULATIONS ET D'EVITER DANS UNE LARGE MESURE LE DEGAGEMENT D'OXYDE DE CARBONE QUI AFFECTE LA DENSITE DES PELLETS ET PEUT PROVOQUER DES FISSURES DANS LE COMBUSTIBLE FINI.A. THE PROCESS CONSISTS OF REACTING OXIDES OF MATERIAL WHICH CAN CONSTITUTE NUCLEAR FUEL WITH A MATERIAL CONTAINING CARBON AT A TEMPERATURE HIGHER THAN 1300C. B. THE MONOCARBON IS OBTAINED BY OPERATING THE REACTION WITH URANIUM DICARBIDE. C. THIS PROCESS MAKES IT EASY TO MANIPULATE MANIPULATION AND TO A LARGE EXTENT AVOID THE RELEASE OF CARBON OXIDE WHICH AFFECTS THE DENSITY OF THE PELLETS AND MAY CAUSE CRACKS IN THE FINISHED FUEL.
