NUCLEAR FUEL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING NUCLEAR FUEL COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Nuclear fuel compositions and methods of manufacturing nuclear fuel compositions are disclosed. The nuclear fuel composition includes a nuclear fissile material and an iodine-absorption material incorporated into the nuclear fissile material prior to irradiation of the nuclear fuel composition. In one embodiment, the nuclear fissile material is an actinide oxide or actinide oxide salt, and the iodine-absorption material is silver or a salt of silver.
