1. A method of fabricating metal nuclear fuel, the method comprising:
inserting a sheath into an annular mold; bottom pouring a liquid metal nuclear fuel into the annular mold; and allowing the liquid metal nuclear fuel alloy to form a sheathed, annular metal fuel wherein the sheathed, wherein the annular metal fuel has the sheath surrounding and tightly fitted to the metal nuclear fuel. |
