Abstract

A nuclear fuel body (20) which is at least partially covered by a burnable neutron absorber layer (30) is provided with a hydrophobic overcoat (32) generally covering the burnable absorber layer (30) and bonded directly to it. In a method for providing a VO2 fuel pellet with a zirconium diboride burnable poison layer, the fuel body is provided with an intermediate niobium layer.
