    摘要: Provided are a method of controlling the compositional gradient and solubility of doped-additives at grain boundaries during sintering of a uranium-based oxide green pellet including the additives, and a method of manufacturing a sintered nuclear fuel pellet having a large grain size using the same. The grain boundary solubility of the doped-additives is maintained at a certain level by stepwise varying of an oxygen partial pressure during isothermal sintering of a uranium-based oxide green pellet including the additives. The method of manufacturing a sintered nuclear fuel pellet having a large grain size includes preparing additive mixed uranium oxide powder, forming an additive mixed uranium oxide green pellet using the mixed powder, heating the green pellet to a sintering temperature in a gas atmosphere having a low oxygen partial pressure, and sintering while a sintering gas atmosphere is changed to stepwise increase an oxygen partial pressure at the isothermal sintering temperature.
