Abstract

962,428. Nuclear fueL STITCHING REACTOR CENTRUM NEDERLAND. Sept. 19, 1960 [Sept. 18, 1959], No. 32116/60. Heading G6C. A fissile or fertile nuclear fuel element is made by mixing a fissile or fertile substance with a gel of a fluoride of beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, or barium, moulding the mixture under pressure, and drying at 50‹-400‹C. The fissile or fertile material may be U<SP>233</SP>, U<SP>235</SP>, Pu<SP>239</SP>, Th<SP>232</SP>, or U<SP>238</SP> in metallic form or as oxides, nitrides, carbides, or silicides. The gel may be prepared by grinding a mixture of the fluoride, water, and a volatile salt (ammonium nitrate or chloride) or a decomposable salt (uranium or thorium nitrate). In examples, gels of MgF 2 , CaF 2 , and BeF 2 are mixed with uranium dioxide powder, which may contain plutonium dioxide, and pressed into pellets; after drying the pellets may be heated at 500‹-1200‹C. in vacuo, or in hydrogen or nitrogen.
