“…The advantages of the process are avoidance of handling fine powder and facilitation of automation for the production of nuclear fuel precursors. Those precursors are thermally treated and can be used as particle fuel [1] or compressed into the commonly used fuel pellets [2].…”

“…moreover, the generation of long-lived radioactive wastes and the loss of volatile species need to be minimized during the fuel fabrication process. innovative fuel concepts, therefore, are necessary to address the fabrication challenges of a conventional injection casting method pertaining to Tru elements while maintaining good performances of metallic fuel [9][10]. metallic particulate fuel is an innovative form for the injection casting of nuclear fuel slugs [11][12].…”

An alternative fabrication method for metallic fuel in gen-iV reactor was introduced with vibration packing of nuclear fuel particles to facilitate remote fabrication in a hot cell and reduce the generation of long-lived radioactive wastes. Vibration packing experiments on metallic particulate fuel using a surrogate 316L stainless steel powder were done to investigate the packing density and the uniformity of the simulated fuel according to the filling method and the vibration condition. metallic particulate fuel filled with a pre-mixed power over all particles had the highest packing fraction and the most uniform distribution among the filling methods. The vibration packing method showed that it could fabricate the metallic particulate fuel having uniform distribution of spherical fuel particles through the adjustment of the filling method of the metallic powder and the vibration condition of the metallic particulate fuel.

“…The spherically shaped precipitate is thermally treated and can afterwards directly be used as particle fuel [9] or compressed into the commonly used fuel pellets [10]. The IG process offers a dust-free fabrication route to convert mixtures of different metal cations into a homogeneous precipitate and was used to prepare MOX particles [11] and U/Pu nitride particles [12].…”
