METHOD FOR PRODUCING NUCLEAR FUEL PRODUCTS WITH A HIGH LOADING OF LOW ENRICHED URANIUM AND CORRESPONDING NUCLEAR KERNBRENNSTOFF

摘要

A method of producing a nuclear fuel product (1), the method comprising the steps of: - providing a core (3) comprising aluminium and low-enriched uranium; and - sealing said core in a cladding (5); wherein said core (3) has a low-enriched uranium loading strictly higher than 3.0 g U/cm3 and comprises less than 10 wt% of aluminium phase and/or aluminium compounds other than UAl2 phase, than UAl3 phase, and than UAl4 phase. Corresponding nuclear fuel product (1).
