<p>A cadmium oxide glazed nuclear fuel pellet and glazing composition therefor is disclosed which controls the reactivity and extends the operating live cycle of a nuclear reactor while increasing the rate of burnout of the burnable absorber and reducing the amount of undesirable gases produced therefrom. The glaze forming composition comprises at least 0,5 percent by weight cadmium oxide as a burnable absorber, i.e., cadmium-113 isotope, and at least one glaze forming oxide. The glaze constituents are formed into a slurry and a nuclear fuel pellet is dipped into the slurry to produce a hard refractory glaze upon firing and cooling.</p> |
