    摘要: Method for manufacturing sintered oxidic nuclear fuel bodies by molding uranium oxide starting powder, a mixture of uranium oxide and plutonium oxide starting powder or of uranium-plutonium oxide mixed-crystal starting powder to form blanks and by a heat treatment of these blanks with a U.sub.4 O.sub.9 or (U, Pu).sub.4 O.sub.9 crystal phase developed in them to a degree which can be crystallographically detected at a sintering temperature in the range of 1000.degree. to 1400.degree. C. in an oxidizing and subsequently in a reducing gas atmosphere. The starting powder and/or the blanks are preroasted at a roasting temperature below the sintering temperature in a roasting gas atmosphere with oxidizing action and with an oxygen potential in which the U.sub.4 O.sub.9 (U, Pu).sub.4 O.sub.9 crystal phase is developed and cooled down subsequently to a starting temperature below the roasting temperature in an inert or oxidizing cooling-down gas atmosphere. Starting from this starting temperature, the blanks are heated to the sintering temperature in an inert or oxidizing heating gas atmosphere while maintaining the U.sub.4 O.sub.9 or the (U, Pu).sub.4 O.sub.9 crystal phase.

    摘要: Manufacture of very dense oxidic fuel bodies of UO.sub.2 with rare earth oxides in which pressed blanks are subjected to sintering in an oxidizing atmosphere at relatively low temperature and are sintered in a reducing atmosphere at a higher temperature. This avoids sintering-inhibiting phases and permits very dense bodies with greater content of rare earth oxides to be produced.

    摘要: Fuel assemblies forming cores of gas-cooled reactors, operate at temperatures too high to permit the use of resilient contact elements for holding the fuel rods centered in the openings of the spacer grids of the fuel assemblies, solid and rigid contact elements not relying on resilience, being required. In such cases intercontacting surfaces of the fuel rod metal claddings and the spacer grid contact elements, are capable of sticking together, preventing relative sliding by these surfaces to accommodate thermally induced movements, resulting in the claddings being highly stressed. To prevent this, one or both of the intercontacting surfaces are roughened or otherwise processed to have peaks and valleys or depressions so that abrasion products are carried off between the peaks, permitting the intercontacting surfaces to remain relatively slidable with the result that the previously referred to stressing of the claddings is substantially reduced as compared to that resulting when there is surface sticking together.
